Assessment of the Effect of a Novel Surface Roughness Treatment on Dental Implants on Integration Success

A Prospective Randomized-controlled Study of the Effect of Surface Topographies on Implant Integration Rates and Clinical Success

A study where dental implants with different roughened surfaces will be evaluated for the ability to resist countertorque forces.

This study on dental implants with different roughened surfaces will assess its ability to resist countertorque testing at various study time points and demonstrate high success
