The possibilities of changing implant surface properties are numerous, both in terms of chemical and biological aspects and also of surface morphology and topography. Recent studies have focused on establishing an implant surface with characteristics that optimize osseointegration in sites with low bone density. The aim of the present study was to carry out clinical and histological assessments of the influence of different implant surfaces on the response of peri-implant tissues with low bone density. Eight male New Zealand rabbits were used in the study. The following implant surfaces were assessed: cast titanium (G1), acid-etched titanium (G2), titanium coated with titanium plasma spray (G3), and titanium coated with new acidetched porous titanium coating (G4).Animals were sacrificed 30 days after surgery. Following clinical assessment of implant stability in the alveolar bone, tibia bone fragments containing the implants were prepared and submitted to histological analysis. Clinical assessment results showed that all implants achieved stability in peri-implant tissues. In some specimens, new bone formation was observed, as well as tissue migration to the coronal, non-submerged area of the implant. Our findings suggest that the implant surface G3 was the one that most contributed to bone regeneration, with minimum foreign body reaction observed in peri-implant tissues.
