Importance of Measurement Parameters for the Dental Implant Surface Characterization
There are many dierent surface modication techniques like sand blasting, acid etching, or coating with various materials. Surface characterization is as important as surface modication for dental implants. Although many researchers studied about measurement of surface characteristics of dental implants with similar techniques but with dierent measurement parameters, there is still no consensus about the optimal surface characteristics values of a successful dental implant. Among many other surface characteristics, surface roughness is one of the
most important features for dental implants.
In this study, the importance of surface roughness measurement of dental implants is discussed and the need of a standardized procedure for implant surface roughness measurement is emphasized.
