Bone Loss and Surface Roughness
Of the 123 treatment groups, 21 treatment groups were treated with a minimally rough implant surface (0.5 – 1 μm), 52 treatment groups with a moderately rough implant surface (1 – 2 μm), and 31 treatment groups with a rough implant surface (>2 μm); 19 groups reported a mixture of implants or did not report the surface. There were no studies with smooth surfaces available because these were merely experimental surfaces not used in the clinic.
