Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the bone-implant contact (BIC) and bone density (BD) of untreated PEEK implants, sandblasted ceramic filled PEEK implants, and titanium implants in dogs.
- Nine dogs were surgically implanted with three different types of implants in their mandibles, and after three months, bone blocks were extracted for analysis.
- Results showed that BIC and BD were significantly higher for titanium and sandblasted ceramic filled PEEK implants compared to untreated PEEK, suggesting that sandblasting enhances implant performance, but more research is needed to confirm these findings.
