Notes:
This study was carried out to assess the bone response to alkali-modified titaniumimplant surface (Bio surface), using histomorphometric investigation on an animal model. Themean net contribution of the Bio surface to the increase in bone implant contact (BIC) withreference to the turned, machined surface was evaluated at 7.94 % (BIC/week), within the first fiveweeks of healing. The contribution was expressed as the difference in the osseointegration rates ([removed info]BIC/[removed info]'healing time) between the implants with alkali modified surface (Bio surface) and those withturned, machined surface. The surface characteristics that differed between the implant surfaces, i.e.surface morphology, specific surface area, contact angle, hydroxylation/hydration, may representfactors that influence the rate of osseointegration
