Bone Response to Surface-Modified Titanium Implants: Studies on the Early Tissue Response to Implants with Different Surface Characteristics

<table>((a), (b)) Solitary osteoid formation is found within the threads of the implant (arrow-heads). (a) Endosteal trabeculae in the bone marrow (BM) are protruding towards the implant surface. The border between the “old” cortex and the newly formed bone (arrows) is clearly visible. Bar = 200 <i>μ</i>m. (a) Machined (control) sample and (b) glow discharge cleaned and thermally oxidized sample. one week after implantation. The osteoblasts are lining the newly formed trabeculae (arrow heads). Bar = 200 <i>μ</i>m.</table>
