TABLE 3.
Suitability of models and implantation sites of in vivo studies.
| Studies | Suitability of experimental model | Model | Implantation sites |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zhang et al. (Zhang et al., 2020) | Low suitability | Rabbit | Femur |
| Takanche et al. (Takanche et al., 2018) | Moderate suitability | Rat | Jaw |
| Bumgardner et al. (Bumgardner et al., 2007) | Low suitability | Rabbit | Tibia |
| Kung et al. (Kung et al., 2011) | Low suitability | Rat | Subcutaneous |
| López-Valverde et al. (López-Valverde et al., (2021a); López-Valverde et al., (2022)) | Suitable | Dog | Jaw |
Likewise, imaging assessment methods will gain more and more importance as diagnostic methods for bone quantification around implant surfaces.
