Bone‐Implant Contact on Machined and Dual Acid‐Etched Surfaces After 2 Months of Healing in the Human Maxilla

Abstract

At 2 months, the mean BIC% for the dual acid-etched group increased 39.14% compared to the EBC% value, while the mean BIC% for the machined group decreased 44.70%. Based on the histomorphometric results of this study, sufficient bone for functional loading of the implant exists on a dual acid-etched surface after 2 months of healing in the posterior maxillary arch.

Sinus floor elevation using osteotomes or piezoelectric surgery

“…The Osseotite implants used in the present investigation are treated with a dual acid-etching (DAE) protocol. As reported in the literature 1,18,36 , DAE surfaces promote osseointegration.…”

Advancing dental implant surface technology – From micron- to nanotopography

“…One possible way that topography may alter cellular differentiation is through imposed changes in cell shape [58]. Micron-level topography effects on increased bone-toimplant contact are observed in vivo [26,59], and in human clinical histology [60]. Limited evidence that integrins are involved in cellular responses to implant surfaces has been obtained using MG63 cell culture studies [61].…”

Evaluation of titanium implants with surface modification by laser beam: biomechanical study in rabbit tibias

“…1,2 In order to improve both quantity and quality of the bone-implant interface in face of adverse conditions, and to accelerate the osseointegration, numerous implant surface modifications have been used. 3 The surface characteristics of titanium implants have been modified by additive methods, such as titanium 4 and hydroxyapatite plasma spray, 5 as well as by subtractive methods, such as acid etching, 6 acid etching associated with sandblasting by either AlO 2 or TiO 2 , 7 and laser ablation. 3,8,9 The laser ablation technology for surfaces preparation already has numerous industrial applications.…”
