Comparison of removal torques of SLActive® implant and blasted laser-treated titanium implant in rabbit tibia bone healed with concentrated growth factor application

摘要

PURPOSEThe purpose of this study was to compare the removal torques of a chemically modified SLActive implant and a blasted, laser-treated (BLT) implant, which were soaked in saline for 2 weeks after their surface modifications. The removal torques of the two implants were measured 4 weeks after their implantation into the bone defect area in rabbit tibias with concentrated growth factor (CGF) application.
