Quality assessment of dental implants by SEM and EDX analysis—A comparison of five one-piece implants
Dr Dirk U. Duddeck & Dr Franz-Joseph Faber, Berlin & Cologne
Dental implants are supposed to be clean when delivered in a sterile packaging. Implant surface pollution with organic particles and/or major inorganic residues originating from the production process are suspected to cause insufficient or missing osseointegration of dental implants. Unintended micrometerscale particles may induce a foreign-body reaction with a loss of bone in the early stages of osseointegration.
