Bone loss (expressed as positive value in mm) in relation to loading time for minimally rough surface implants.
Implant roughness and/or implant system were not reported or unknown and hence all these studies/ treatment groups were considered as a separate group.134,137,142,171,174,192 Some papers presented in their results a mixture of implants with various surface roughnesses and did not make specific distinction between them and therefore were also excluded for the detailed roughness versus bone loss evaluation.113,126,128,17,159,170,193-195 Additionally, studies which did
