Abstract

Objectives: Chemical modification of the already proven sand-blasted and acid-etched (SLA) implant had increased its surface wettability and consequent early-term osseointegration characteristics. The aim of this clinical trial was to compare the stability changes, success, survival, peri-implant parameters and marginal bone loss (MBL) of the early-loaded standard (SLA) and modified sand-blasted, acid-etched (modSLA) implants.
