A total of 36 dental implants (4.1 mm diameter and 11.5 mm length) were inserted in the bilateral iliac crests of 6 goats.

The implants were divided into three experimental groups based on the type of dental implants and peri-implant bone grafting as following:

Solid Dental Implants (SI, n1 = 12): Tapered Screw-Vent®, Zimmer Dental Inc., Carlsbad, CA, USA.

Porous Dental Implants (PI, n2 = 12): Trabecular Metal®, Zimmer Dental Inc., Carlsbad, CA, USA.

Porous Dental Implants with BCP peri-implant bone grafting (PI + BCP, n3 = 12): Trabecular Metal® Implant placement was combined with peri-implant bone grafting using biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) granulates (Maxresorb®, Biotiss Biomaterials, Zossen, Germany). Maxresorb® granules, composed of 60% hydroxyapatite (HA) and 40% beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP).
