The Effect of Simplifying Dental Implant Drilling Sequence on Osseointegration: An Experimental Study in Dogs

Figure 3

No morphologic differences were observed between implants placed with either conventional or simplified techniques. The evaluation of the histologic sections at all time points showed direct contact between implant and bone in cortical and trabecular regions, as showed in this section of a 4.2 mm diameter implant at 5 weeks of healing.
