Abstract

Recent studies have explored surface treatments, such as increasing the hydrophilicity of implant fixtures, to enhance the osseointegration of implants. This prospective clinical study aimed to assess the clinical stability and efficacy of plasma treatment applied to implants with sandblast−acid etching (SLA) surfaces before placement. Twenty-eight patients requiring implant placement provided consent and were assigned randomly to either the SLA group without plasma treatment or the SLA/plasma group with plasma treatment. Recall checks were conducted one and three months after the first-stage surgery, followed by a second surgery at four months. Although no significant differences in buccal bone defects or implant stability were observed between the groups, the SLA/plasma group showed significant increases in marginal bone changes on the mesial and distal sides, as assessed using periapical radiographs. This study underscores the potential of pre-implantation plasma treatment to enhance bone regeneration around implants.
