Objectives: This study compared the biomechanical fixation and bone‐to‐implant contact (BIC) of implants with different surfaces treatment (experimental – resorbable blasting media‐processed nanometer roughness scale surface, and control – dual acid‐etched) in a dog model.Material and methods: Surface characterization was made in six implants by means of scanning electron microscopic imaging, atomic force microscopy to evaluate roughness parameters, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for chemical assessment. The animal model comprised the bilateral placement of control ( n =24) and experimental surface ( n =24) implants along the proximal tibiae of six mongrel dogs, which remained in place for 2 or 4 weeks. Half of the specimens were biomechanically tested (torque), and the other half was subjected to histomorphologic/morphometric evaluation. BIC and resistance to failure measures were each evaluated as a function of time and surface treatment in a mixed model ANOVA.Results: Surface texturing was significantly higher for the experimental compared with the control surface. The survey XPS spectra detected O, C, Al, and Ti at the control group, and Ca (∼0.2– 0.9%) and P (∼1.7– 4.1%) besides O, C, Al, and Ti at experimental surfaces. While no statistical difference in BIC was found between experimental and control surfaces or between 2 and 4 weeks in vivo , both longer time and use of experimental surface significantly increased resistance to failure.Conclusions: The experimental surface resulted in enhanced biomechanical fixation but comparable BIC relative to control, suggesting higher bone mechanical properties around the experimental implants.To cite this article :
