Abstract

Branemark developed a dental implant that can reliably replace missing teeth. The success of this implant is attributed to a direct connection of bone with the implant (osseointegration). Several implants, including the Core-Vent implant, adhere to the requirements described by Branemark and his coworkers to achieve osseointegration, yet no studies have attempted to directly compare osseointegration of the Biotes implant with other implants. This study directly compared the response of bone to the unloaded and occlusally loaded Core-Vent and Biotes implants at the light microscopic level by using the nonhuman primate model. Histologic examination revealed that both Core-Vent and Biotes implants achieved osseointegration and maintained the direct contact with bone after 5 months of occlusal loading.
