Figure 1

Experimental implant design and schematic diagram of the buccal open defect and mesial, distal, and lingual 1 mm defect models. Twenty-four implants (7.0 mm long and 3.5 mm in diameter; Cowellmedi Co., Busan, Korea) were made of pure titanium and were designed with a straight section on their upper 3 mm and broad threads on their lower 4 mm. A 5.5 mm diameter cover screw mounted on the implant.
