However, this approach requires invasive specimen preparation and is limited to representing only a single plane. By comparison, micro-computed tomography (μCT) offers a rapid and convenient alternative that provides three-dimensional information, but is hampered by resolution and artifacts-related issue, making it a supplementary method for osseointegration analysis. To verify the reliability of μCT for osseointegration evaluation, this animal model study compared bone-to-implant contact (BIC) ratios obtained by the gold standard histomorphometric method with tho...
