(a) 30-day CA surface. Mature bone was present around the implants. Toluidine blue and acid fuchsin 2x. (b) At higher magnification, more mature bone trabeculae were present around the implant surface (Arrows). Toluidine blue and acid fuchsin 50x. (d) SLActive surface. Histological pictures showing the mature bone in the implant concavities (Arrows). Toluidine blue and acid fuchsin 2x. (c) No gaps are present in the implant bone. Toluidine blue and acid fuchsin 5x.
