This study evaluates osseous healing of selective infiltration-etched (SIE) zirconia implants compared to as-sintered zirconia and titanium implants. Twenty implants of each group were inserted in 40 adult New Zealand white male rabbits. After 4 and 6 weeks, bone blocks containing the implants were retrieved, sectioned, and processed to evaluate bone-implant contact (BIC) and peri-implant bone density. SIE zirconia implants had significantly higher BIC and marginally higher bone density. The results suggest that selective infiltration-etched zirconia implant surface may improve implant osseointegration.
