Turned (smoother) implant surfaces vs Roughened implant surfaces

Early implant failure · Adults with missing teeth who received osseointegrated root-formed oral implants, functionally loaded and followed for at least 1 year

Turned (smoother) implant surfaces showed no clear difference in early implant failure compared with roughened implant surfaces (low certainty).

Turned (smoother) implant surfaces vs Roughened implant surfaces

Peri-implantitis · Adults with missing teeth who received osseointegrated root-formed oral implants, functionally loaded and followed for at least 1 year

Turned (smoother) implant surfaces may leads to lower peri-implantitis compared with roughened implant surfaces (low certainty).
