The main used processes of modification of the implant surface are: machining, sandblasting, etching and oxiding. They have the purpose to reduce the times of the osseointegration and to improve its quality. The aim of this study was to investigate how these processes macroscopically (at 5 m depth) modify the implant surface and its chemical...

Aim: To evaluate the survival rate of immediately loaded, acidetched implants (Osseotites) in the edentulous maxilla over a period of 12 months. Materials and methods: Sixteen patients (mean age 59 years) with residual compromised maxillary teeth were made edentulous and rehabilitated with a screw-retained fixed provisional prosthesis with a...

The modification processes of the implant surface morphology aim to reducing the times and improving the quality of osteointegration. Starting from the assumption that osteoblasts play a very important part during the osteointegration process, the purpose of this experimental study was to evaluate whether and how much the typology of the...
