Published in: Clinical oral implants research (2019)

Implants containing porous tantalum demonstrated increased peri-implant bone formation within this gap-healing model as shown by significant differences in biomechanical and histomorphometric outcomes. Such implants may represent an alternative to influence bone healing in surgical sites with an existing gap.
