Abstract

The aim of the study: was to evaluate the influence of the surface treatment of
implant retained mandibular overdenture on peri-implant bone density.
Resorbable Blast Media (RBM) implant surface treatment and acid
etched implant surface treatment was used.
Materials and Methods: Ten completely edentulous male patients were
rehabilitated by mandibular overdenture retained by two dental implants
in the interforaminal region, the one on the right side was acid etched and
the left side was with resorbable blast media (RBM). Peri-implant bone
density was assessed with cone beam computed tomography at the time
of implant loading, six months and twelve months after denture insertion.
Results: There was no significant difference between Acid etched and
RBM dental implants on the peri-implant bone density during the follow
up period. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the number of studied
patients it could be stated that Acid etched and RBM dental implants
fulfill the criteria of dental implant success and are recommended to be
used.
