Material and Method: In our study, 10 adult male white healthy New Zealand rabbits (average weight: 3,000 to 3,500 g) were used. Different numbers of dental implants were placed in the experimental animals. Complications in rabbit tibias were observed and radiological results were reported. Results: Of the 10 rabbits included in the postoperative study, one (10%) died immediately after the operation, eight (80%) within the first 24 hours, and the last one (10%) died within the next 48 hours of the operation. Conclusion: Based on the complications experienced during this study and the data we obtained, we conclude that the rabbit tibia is not suitable for such studies. More comprehensive and multi-center studies are needed to draw more firm conclusions on this subject.}, number={2}, publisher={Van Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi}, organization={Van Yuzuncu Yıl University Scientific Research Project}
