A Split-Mouth Study to Assess the Effect of Implant Surface Roughness on Implant Treatment Outcome After 5 Years

Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent. 2023 Jan-Feb;43(1):113-119. doi: 10.11607/prd.6264.

Abstract

The aim of current split-mouth study was to compare the implant treatment outcomes of hybrid-surface implants (minimally rough implant collar and moderately rough body) with moderately rough implants after 5 years in patients with a bar-supported mandibular overdenture. Fully edentulous patients were enrolled, and each patient received two implants: one moderately rough and one hybrid-surface implant. A total of 18 patients with 36 implants attended the 5-year recall, and the implant survival rate was 100%. The 5-year evaluation showed no significant difference in crestal bone loss or peri-implant health between the hybrid and moderately rough implants.
