Adjusted BIC and histological section in control_N, PTH-1_N and PTH-2_N implant. Adjusted BIC (Adj.BIC) indicated mean of tension and pressure side except of thread exposure region. PTH-1_N had lowest BIC in non-surgery implants and all surgery implants indicated higher BIC. PTH-1_N implant showed bone formation (osteoid surface: rust color) and resorption (black asterisks) in implant surface that represented active bone remodeling process and least bone implant contact. (black arrow) Masson Goldner Trichrome stain. T: tension side, P: pressure side. a Ground section of control_N implant; b ground section of PTH-1_N implant; C. ground section of PTH-2_N implant.
