Objectives To evaluate the effect of strontium‐oxide layer on new bone formation and osseointegration of sandblasted large‐grit double‐acid‐etched ( SLA ) implant. Material and methods Strontium‐oxide layer on the SLA surface was produced by hydrothermal treatment using a Sr‐containing solution. The surface topographies, roughness, hardness values, chemical elements and ionic release of SLA and the strontium‐containing SLA (Sr‐ SLA ) surface were measured by special instruments separately. Sixty‐four SLA and Sr‐ SLA implants were inserted into the proximal tibiae and femoral condyles of sixteen non‐osteoporotic New Zealand white rabbits. The biological effects were evaluated by removal torque ( RTQ ) testing and histomorphometric analysis after 3 and 6 weeks of implantation. Results The surface characteristics showed Sr‐ SLA surfaces with dotted nanostructures can release appropriate amount of strontium ions into surrounding tissue till 14 days. In vivo , the Sr‐ SLA implants presented significantly higher RTQ than SLA implants at 3 and 6 weeks ( P  < 0.05). The Sr‐ SLA implants presented higher bone‐to‐implant contact ( BIC ) than SLA implants in cortical bone at 3 and 6 weeks ( P  < 0.05). The bone area was slightly higher for the Sr‐ SLA implants at 3 and 6 weeks ( P  > 0.05). Conclusions The strontium‐oxide layer on the SLA surface has the potential to improve implant osseointegration in non‐osteoporotic rabbits.
