Abstract excerpt
Roughened titanium (Ti) surfaces have been widely used for dental implants. In recent years, there has been the tendency to replace Ti plasma-sprayed surfaces by sandblasted and acid-etched surfaces in order to enhance osseous apposition. Another approach has been the utilization of hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated implants. This study examines the effect of two roughened Ti dental implant surfaces on the osteoblastic...
