Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Decreasing the time needed for osseointegration has always been a big challenge for modern implantodontics. The main factor which helps to decrease the time needed for osseointegration is the newly developed surfaces being used, as well as their microstructures, in relation to their osseoinductive properties. The aim of this work is to clinically evaluate the osseointegration of the implants when using The anodized surfaces in humans, following a 60 days-period of osseointegration. METHODOLOGY: Forty-Five implants were placed in different kinds of bones, according to the technique recommended by the manufacturer. Those implants were opened after 60 days of osseointegration. The success of evaluation was made through assessing the counter torque resistance of 25 Ncm. The implants which could withstand the applied torque were considered osseointegrated. RESULTS: Of the forty-five implants made in different kinds of bones, only one failed to present osseointegration, resulting in a success rate of 97.7 %. CONCLUSIONS: With this methodology it was possible to conclude that anodized surface implants present primary osseointegration after 60 days of healing, after which they can function normally.
