Abstract :

With the expansion of studies and research to recognize the mouth's biocompatibility properties, the components and types of implants have been examined in terms of different surfaces with respect to one another. The bone around the implant plays a crucial role in supporting and maintaining the stability of the implant after implantation in the gums, and its gradual loss will reduce the biocompatibility and, ultimately, the strength of the bond between the implant fixture surface and the gingival bone. In this study, the 3A implant characteristics have been investigated from the perspective of hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, and osseointegration of this implant's surface. So that the viability of the noted fixture’s titanium surface, when the hydrophilicity has been established in it, should be examined with the time when it lacks the hydrophilicity. Finally, it was found that the adsorption rate of the implant’s titanium surface to the gingival bone decreased from about 8 weeks to about 4 weeks, when the implant surface was hydrophilic compared to the time it lacked this property. The results also show that with the increase of hydrophilicity in the implant surface treatment method, the improvement of surface treatment in the first 2 to 4 weeks after implant placement has grown and gained more speed. This result indicates an acceleration in the process of adaptation of the 3A implant’s titanium surface when it has biocompatibility. The SLActive surface treatment method's high success rate has led to a success rate of 96.8%.
