Abstract
The limitation of dental implants needing a healing period before placement of the final
restoration for osseointegration has become an inconvenience for both patients and implant surgeons.
Which has lead to the development of new surface treatments to fasten bone formation and reduce the
time needed for osseointegration. Amongst these treatments was the SLA treatment and laser
treatment. On the other hand there are many clinical situations that prevent surgeons from placing
classical implant lengths and thus using shorter dental implants. This is considered setback to the
surface area of dental implant and thus affects stability.
The aim of this study was to test the stability of these short dental implants in two different
surface treatments. The SLA and the Laser treated implants. Measuring their ISQ along time from the
day of insertion, at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks.
8 patients have participated in this study each receiving 2 dental implants, one from the SLA
treated group and one from the laser treated group. The ISQ data was measured and collected and
statistical analysis of these data was done.
It was observed that the SLA treated dental implants have had a stability dip from weeks 2 to
week 4. This stability dip was statistically significant in relation to the stability at day 0. On the other
hand the laser treated surface implants had a non statistically significant dip, which is more
advantageous compared to SLA.
It was also observed that there was a statistically significant difference in favor of laser treated
dental implants in terms of stability at weeks 4, 6 and 8. During this period the laser treated surface
have shown a higher implant stability. Before and after this period the difference of stability was non
significant.
