Bone Response to Two Dental Implants with Different Sandblasted/Acid-Etched Implant Surfaces: A Histological and Histomorphometrical Study in Rabbits

Figure 5

(a) 60-day CA surface. Histological analysis showed a complete bone organization and mineralization. Toluidine blue and acid fuchsin 2x. (b) At higher magnification, mature bone (MB) trabeculae were present in the implant concavities and convexities. Toluidine blue and acid fuchsin 50x. (d) SLActive surface. Mature bone tissue (MB) was observed on the surface of the implants. Toluidine blue and acid fuchsin 2x. (c) No gaps were present at the implant-bone interface. Toluidine blue and acid fuchsin 50x.
