These preliminary results suggest that these implants are associated with satisfactory clinical and radiographic outcomes. Laser versus acid-etched surface treatments did not show any significant difference among different clinical measures or radiographic evaluations at different follow-up times. However, wider application for longer follow-up periods is required for further conclusive recommendations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
