AI Article Synopsis
- The study compared the removal torque and bone-implant interface resistance of different types of implants: machined, acid-etched, and those treated with infrared low-level laser therapy (LLLT) after surgery.
- Statistically significant differences were found between the control group (smooth implants) and the rough surface implants, indicating that surface texture influences implant stability.
- Rough implants provided better resistance at the bone-implant interface than both smooth titanium implants and those treated with LLLT.
Article Abstract
The present study measured removal torque and bone-implant interface resistance of machined implants, acid-etched implants, or machined implants irradiated around the implant area with infrared low-level laser therapy (LLLT; 830 nm) immediately after surgery. There were statistically significant differences between Groups A (control) and B (rough surface) (P = .03). Implants with a rough surface seem to add resistance to the bone-implant interface compared with smooth titanium implants or implants treated with LLLT.
