Basic research methods and current trends of dental implant surfaces
Paulo G. Coelho,José Mauro Granjeiro,George E. Romanos,Marcelo Suzuki,Nelson R.F.A. Silva,Giuseppe Cardaropoli,Van P. Thompson,Jack E. Lemons +7 more
TL;DR: A critical hierarchical overview of the in vitro, laboratory in vivo, clinical, and ex vivo methodologies used to investigate the performance of novel biomaterials aiming to allow dental professionals to better evaluate the past, present, and future dental implant surface research is provided.

In vitro evaluation of the implant abutment connection sealing capability of different implant systems.
TL;DR: The seal between the implant body and the abutment could not be maintained in all three of the systems tested, and significantly higher amounts of TB was released from the Straumann and Nobel Replace Select connection systems.

Early Bone Healing around Different Implant Bulk Designs and Surgical Techniques: A Study in Dogs
Paulo G. Coelho,Marcelo Suzuki,Marcia V.M. Guimaraes,Charles Marin,Rodrigo Granato,José Nazareno Gil,Robert J. Miller +6 more
TL;DR: Different implant design/surgical protocol resulted in varied bone healing patterns, however, the BIC and bone morphology evolution between implant designs were comparable.

Early healing of nanothickness bioceramic coatings on dental implants. An experimental study in dogs.
TL;DR: It is shown that 20-50 nm thickness bioceramic depositions onto previously alumina-blasted/acid-etched substrates did not improve the biomechanical fixation and the BIC at early implantation times, and studies concerning shorter and longer implantations times are recommended.

Removal Torque and Histomorphometric Evaluation of Bioceramic Grit-Blasted/Acid-Etched and Dual Acid-Etched Implant Surfaces: An Experimental Study in Dogs
Charles Marin,Rodrigo Granato,Marcelo Suzuki,José Nazareno Gil,Adriano Piattelli,Paulo G. Coelho +5 more
TL;DR: To biomechanically/histomorphometrically evaluate a bioceramic grit-blasted and acid-etched surface (BGB/AA; test) versus a dual acid-ETched implant surface (control) in a beagle dog model, surface modifications to dental implants have been used in an attempt to accelerate the osseointegration process.
