We know that the osteointegration of dental implants is deeply influenced by the ability of osteoblastes to adhere to the surface of the implant. These cells become part and adhere more easily to rough surfaces than smooth ones.
It is known that the roughness increasing promotes the bone growth around the implant, altering the behaviour of the osteoblastes, especially during the first phases of the healing, by two ways:
1. more soaking of the rough surfaces respect the smooth ones ("machined"),
2. increasing the surface of the implant that is in direct contact with bone tissue.
Elite Medica realized a surface uniformly rough and with micro - morphogical properties which favour a fast bone growth around the titanium dental implant. The properties of the craters obtained, the distance between "peaks" and the depth of the following valleys distinguish the rough process from the other allowing, considering its characteristics, "immediate" loads yet later 30 days the insertion if there is a great primary stability.
Pic.1 shows the surface of our titanium dental implants (SEM observation at 7500X of magnification) after the Fastite Acid Etch Treatment: the craters uniformly distribuited are present.
