Endosseus titanium implants in extraction sockets. An experimental study in monkeys.
In a series of monkeys, titanium implants (Xenodent) were installed in the sockets of mandibular incisors. The animals were sacrificed 7 and 12 weeks after the implantations. The healing was studied by histological and microradiographical techniques. A gradual osseointegration free from adverse interference could be noticed.
