The data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. ^aP < 0.05 indicates a significant difference between distal and proximal regions. ^bP < 0.05 indicates a significant difference in osseointegration between PEO and Ti at a given time and site. BV/TV, bone volume density; BA/TA; bone area density; PEO, plasma electrolytic oxidation; Ti, titanium.
