The sandblasted-acid-etched surface of the implants used in this study, at different magnification: (a) ×100; (b) ×200; (c) ×500; (d) ×1000. Implant surface was treated with a sandblasting process producing an average roughness of 2.5 μm: fixtures were blasted with alumina particles. Sandblasting was followed by a decontamination treatment series, including a passivation process with nitric acid.
