DOIAbstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of implant surface topography and surgical technique on bone response. MATERIAL AND METHODS: For the experiment, 48 screw-designed implants were used with two different surface finishes, i.e. machined and 'blasted, etched'. The implants were inserted into the left and right medial femoral condyle of eight goats using three different surgical approaches: press-fit (implant diameter=implant bed diamete(r), undersized (implant bed diameter<implant diameter) and osteotome. Each femoral condyle received three implants. After an implantation period of 12 weeks, the implants were retrieved and prepared for histological and histomorphometrical evaluation (bone contact and bone mass)....
