Performance of MicroTextured Dental Implants

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Partially Edentulous Jaw

In brief

The study will compare initial peri-implant bone healing and longitudinal osseointegration between a fully microtextured dental implant and an analogous implant with a smooth machined collar. The investigators hypothesize the fully textured implant will result in less peri-implant crestal bone resorption than the implant with a machined collar.
