In general,_____ surfaces and those with _____ surface areas promote the greatest amounts of bone-implant contact during osseointegration of endosseous implants.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rougher surfaces promote greater bone-implant contact because they provide more surface area for bone cells to adhere and grow onto. Additionally, greater surface area allows for increased mechanical interlocking between the bone and implant. Therefore, surfaces with larger surface areas also promote greater bone-implant contact.
