Effects of Implant Design and Surface on Bone Regeneration and Implant Stability: An Experimental Study in the Dog Mandible

Abstract

The Astra Tech implants tested showed a higher degree of bone-implant contact and higher level of bone regenerated at defect sites compared with the Brånemark implants. Resonance frequency analysis demonstrated a significantly higher increase in the Astra test implants compared with their control groups than did the Brånemark test implants versus their controls.
