Editor’s choice

In this issue, the editor’s choice is the article published in the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, “Comparative evaluation of osteoblastic cell adhesion on titanium and titanium zirconium alloyed implants using confocal microscopy: An in vitro study,” authored by Ann Mary Varghese.

In their study, the authors compared the initial osteoblastic cell adhesion on the surface of CpTi and Ti-Zr alloy implants. They showed that “the Ti-Zr alloy implant specimens showed significantly higher osteoblastic cell adhesion compared with cpTi implant specimens.” These findings support the hypothesis that Strauman(r) Roxolid(r) exerts better biocompatibility than titanium, a phenomenon that may contribute to improved and more efficient osseointegration.
