Current literature reports that surface acid etching can improve bone--implant contact (BIC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences of BIC between acid-etched (Osseotite) and machined surface implants. Six white New Zealand mature rabbits were used in the present investigation. Each rabbit received two implants, specially made with two surfaces on it (one acid-etched and one machined) into each tibia. A total of 24 implants were inserted. Two animals each were killed at 15, 30, and 60 days after implant placement. Histomorphometry of BIC was statistically evaluated. The acid-etched surfaces showed a greater bone contact percentage than the machined ones during the early phase of healing (15 days), which was not statistically significant. On the other hand, after 30 and 60 days, the differences of BIC between acid-etched and machined surfaces were statistically significant. The acid-etched surface appears to improve BIC at a later stage of healing.

Metal 3D printing has been used in the manufacturing of dental implants. Its technical advantages include high material utilization and the capacity to form arbitrarily complex structures. However, 3D printing alone is insufficient for manufacturing two-stage titanium implants due to the limited precision in printing titanium alloy parts.

Dental implant coronal surfaces designed with the primary goal of maintaining crestal bone levels may also promote bacterial adhesion, leading to soft tissue inflammation and peri-implant bone loss. Achieving an optimal surface roughness that minimizes bacterial adhesion while preserving crestal bone is crucial. It is hypothesized that a specific threshold surface roughness value may exist below which, and above which, initial bacterial adhesion does not statistically change.

Objectives: To in vitro investigate the effect of different implant surface decontamination methods and treatment storing conditions on implant surface morphology and cell viability.
Materials And Methods: Titanium disks with a sand-blasted and acid-etched surface (Promote, PRO) were treated with diamond polishing brushes (BRUSH), nickel-titanium brushes (NITI), or phenol and sulfuric acid-gel (GEL). The disks were stored in saline (-S) or left exposed to air overnight (-A).

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of an oscillating chitosan brush (OCB) compared with an ultrasonic device with PEEK tip (US-PEEK) for mechanical implant surface decontamination using an in vitro model combining 3D models and a validated dynamic multispecies biofilm.
Materials And Methods: A multispecies biofilm using six bacterial strains (Streptococcus oralis, Veillonella parvula, Actinomyces naeslundii, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans) was seeded on dental implants with machined and sandblasted, large-grit and acid-etched (SLA) surfaces. These were installed in 3D models depicting peri-implant defect.
