Surface topography of the exposed implant surface to reveal implant surface morphology and its surrounding bony tissue of patient C show typical patterns of sandblasting and acid etching surface (point 1), a bacterial biofilm at 20,000 × magnification (point 2), a more compact sclerosing bony structure (point 3), filamentous structures (point 4), and a microcrack on the necrotic bony tissue (point 5)
