Does Implant surface topography on macro-, micro- and nanolevel influence bone healing and regeneration?
Although implant treatment today is a common and very predictable treatment for partially edentulous and edentulous patients still there is possibilities to improve the implants for an even better clinical out-come. The implant macro-, micro- and nano features have been regarded as important implant related factors for enhanced bone response during healing and loading. The macro aspects relates to the implant design. The micro aspects relates to what commonly is described as surface roughness while the nano features either are deliberately coated on the implant surface or spontaneously formed during manufacturing. Results from experimental and clinical research will be discussed.
