Topographical parameters analysed by blue light profilometry of the titanium surfaces used in the studies.

	TiOblast	OsseoSpeed	𝑃
𝑆 a/𝜇m	0.77 ± 0.06	1.35 ± 0.04	8.3𝐸−08
𝑆 sk	−0.38 ± 0.05	−0.2 ± 0.08	0.003
𝑆 ku	3.92 ± 0.05	3.46 ± 0.11	0.00002

Mean values and standard deviation are presented (𝑛=5, 3 combined measurements per sample); Student’s 𝑡-test being performed between “TiOblast” and “OsseoSpeed”. Legends: 𝑆_a: average height deviation from the mean plan, 𝑆_sk: surface skewness, 𝑆_ku: surface kurtosis, and 𝑆_ci: core fluid retention index.
