Histomorphometric Evaluation of Bone Formation in Peri-Implant Defects Treated With Different Regeneration Techniques: An Experimental Study in a Rabbit Model.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the healing of artificially created peri-implant circumferential bone defects using three bone-regeneration techniques.

Materials And Methods: Rabbit tibias (24 rabbits), in which bone defects (9-mm diameter, 4-mm depth) were created and implant beds (3-mm diameter, 6-mm depth) were prepared in the middle of the created defects, were used as the experimental model. Dental implants (3.
