Article Title: Impact of High Insertion Torque on Implant Surface Integrity
doi: 10.1111/cid.70030
Figure Lengend Snippet: The surface functional height ( S vk + S k + S pk ) of implants before and after insertion into bone (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001). OS = OsseoSpeed TX; S k = core roughness height of the surface with the predominant peaks and valleys removed; SL = SLA Active Bone Level; S pk = peak height above the core roughness; S vk = valley depth below the core roughness; TU = TiUnite MkIII.
Article Snippet: Cylindrical threaded dental implants of similar dimensions but with different surface topographies were selected ( n = 6 per group): 4.0 × 10 mm TiUnite MkIII (TU) (Nobel Biocare AB, Göteborg, Sweden), 4.0 × 11 mm OsseoSpeed TX (OS) (Astra Tech AB, Mölndal, Sweden), and 4.1 × 10 mm SLActive Bone Level (SL) (Straumann AG, Waldenburg, Switzerland).
Techniques: Functional Assay
