Purpose: Successful implant treatment is based on implant stability, absence periimplant inflammation, and a functional interface between implant and bone tissue (direct bone-implant contact). The aim of this preliminary study on a pig model was to investigate how implant osseointegration was influenced by a new implant alloy.
Materials: Cobalt-chrome experimental implants were compared clinically and histologically with titanium implants, after a loaded healing period of 6 months.
