Figure 6

Bone-to-implant contact, expressed as the percentage of implant length showing a direct bone-to-implant contact without any intervening soft tissue layer. The parameter was further differentiated into (a) the percentage of bone-to-implant contact of the entire implant except the gap area (BIC_ALL) and (b) the percentage of bone-to-implant contact of the gap area (BIC_GAP). Error bars represent means±standard deviation for n=6. *P<0.05, **P<0.01. CC-SA, calcium carbonate-SA; BIC, bone-to-implant contact; SA, sandblasted and acid-etched.
