Clinical and Radiographic Performance of Two Distinct Sandblasted, Large-Grit, Acid-Etched Implant Surfaces: A Split-Mouth Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To compare the clinical performance of two sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched implant surfaces regarding changes in radiographic marginal bone level (MBL) 12 months after loading.

Materials and methods

In this randomized, split-mouth, dual-center clinical trial, each patient received one test (modified hydrophilic surface) implant and one control (conventional surface) implant. The primary endpoint was the change in MBL measured 12 months after loading. Secondary outcomes included the assessment of soft tissue wound healing index (WHI), adverse events, implant stability quotient (ISQ), peri-implant soft tissue parameters (probing pocket depth, bleeding on probing, keratinized mucosa width), and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) measured with the Oral Health
