Background The present prospective, randomized, double-blind study evaluated the bone-forming process around implants inserted simultaneously with anorganic bovine bone (ABB) in sinus grafting. Methods A total of 18 threaded mini-implants with Osseotite (O) and Nanotite (N) surfaces were placed in seven patients (nine sites). After 12 months, the implants were retrieved and processed for histological analysis. A total of 18 cutting and grinding sections were investigated with bright-field light microscopy, circularly polarized light microscopy (CPLM), confocal scanning laser microscope (CSLM), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). Results The bone-to-implant contact rate in native crestal bone was 62.6 ± 0.4% for N implants and 54.3 ± 0.5% for the O implants (p = 0.001). The collagen fibre density, as assessed by CPLM, was 79.8 ± 6.0 nm for the N group and 74.6 ± 4.6 nm for the O group (p < 0.05). Line scan EDS starting from ABB to newly formed bone showed a decrease in calcium content and an increase of carbon while phosphorus content was constant. Conclusions While the N surface improved the peri-implant endosseous healing properties in the native bone, when compared to the O surface, it did not improve the healing properties in the bone-graft area.

A total of 18 cutting and grinding sections were investigated with bright-field light microscopy, circularly polarized light microscopy (CPLM), confocal scanning laser microscope (CSLM), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS).
