Science quote: Dr. Edgard El Char on the Straumann SLActive® surface
In this study, new bone growth around implants with a superhydrophilic modSLA (SLActive) and hydrophobic SLA (SLA) surface were compared in circumferential defects when grafted in conjunction with mineralized cancellous bone allograft (MCBA, Maxgraft) or sintered bovine bone mineral (SBBM, Cerabone). The results suggest that implants with a superhydrophilic modSLA surface are more conducive to faster osseointegration even in conjunction with simultaneous bone grafting procedures.
