Editor’s choice:

In this issue, the editor’s choice is the article published in the Clinical Oral Implants Research, “Benchmark performance of anodized vs. sandblasted implant surfaces in an acute dehiscence type defect animal model” authored by Shakeel Shahdad et al.,

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of implant surface and implant geometry on de novo crestal bone formation and osseointegration

The study concluded that “crestal bone formation in the acute-type dehiscence defects was primarily influenced by implant surface characteristics”.
