Introduction:
Osseointegration is crucial for the long-term success of dental implants. Various surface treatments have been developed to enhance the biological interaction between the implant and bone tissue. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different surface modifications on osseointegration.
Methods:
A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 60 participants, who were randomly divided into three groups. Group A were treated with acid-etched implants, Group B were treated with titanium plasma-sprayed implants, and Group C were treated with untreated implants. Key parameters measured included the osseointegration rate, implant stability, and the bone-to-implant contact percentage.
Results:
Statistically significant differences in osseointegration were observed among the groups. Group A showed the highest osseointegration rate, followed by Group B, with P values < 0.05 when compared to the control group.
Conclusion:
Acid-etched surfaces demonstrated superior osseointegration, suggesting that surface modification can enhance implant success.
