Fractal Dimension and Texture Analysis in the Assessment of Experimental Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Structures (LIPSS) Dental Implant Surface—In Vitro Study Preliminary Report

Abstract: Laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) are the sub-wavelength periodic nanostructures generated by the femtosecond laser. Implant topography and its nanostructural changes can be important for biomedical applications. In order to compare the surface topography of different implants, appropriate mathematical and physical descriptive methods should be provided. The aim of the study was to evaluate the experimental LIPSS-based—Low Spatial Frequency LIPSS (LSFL) dental implant surfaces. Novel methods of… Show more

“…The implant micro-surface and nano-surface modifications have been proven to affect cellular responses such as cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and migration, thus influencing bone healing. Due to surface modifications, it was possible to overcome the adverse effects of length reduction and the unfavorable crown–implant ratio of short implants, shortening the time needed to achieve secondary stability and deliver prosthetic restoration [ 35 ]. The decontamination of the implant surface is also of fundamental importance.…”

“…Many clinical and radiographic evaluation methods have been developed for objective assessment of osseointegration (resonance frequency analysis, reverse torque analysis) [ 33 , 34 , 35 ]. Also, new experimental methods of texture and fractal dimension analyses seem promising in the evaluation of dental implants with complex geometry, but require further studies to further assess their reliability [ 36 ]. Therefore, one of the most objective techniques to evaluate implant surface performance is still the histomorphometric measurement and calculation of bone-implant contact (BIC) [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ].…”
