Abstract

The aim of this paper is to describe a technical sequence of procedures, including anesthesia and surgery steps to adopt as standard surgical procedures using an animal model to evaluate the osseointegration phenomenon and perform the histological analysis after animal deaths at different healing times. In a macroscopic analysis the novel coin-shaped design of titanium implants intended to improve the contact area between the implants surfaces and the cortical bone when compared with titanium screws implants usually applied in the Dentistry area. This non human experimental model presents a probable applicability in Implantology area.
