Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to examine the effect of implant surface topography on biomechanical strength and expression patterns of bone extracellular matrix (ECM)-related genes during implant healing. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cylinder implants with turned or dual acid-etched (DE) surface were placed into the femurs of female Sprague-Dawley rats. At 2 and 4 weeks after the implantation, the implant...
