Abstract

Background:  To review the literature on bone response to standard SLA and modified SLA dental implant surfaces, the present review addresses the following focus question: in patients who receive dental implant treatment, does the use of modified SLA implants compared to standard SLA implants results in the better bone to implant contact and implant stability quotient? Materials and Method: Electronic searches were conducted on PubMed/MEDLINE on studies published until 2018 to collect information about the effect of modified SLA and standard SLA dental implant surfaces. Eligibility criteria included clinical human and animal studies, randomized controlled trials and prospective studies, which evaluated dental implants, with both standard SLA and modified SLA implants in the same study. Result: Out of 139 articles, six studies were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted. The combined results showed no significant differences after the two outcomes evaluated that implant stability quotient and bone-implant contact, respectively. Studies included concludes that BIC% at the early stage of healing, i.e. at two and four weeks was significantly high for modified SLA implants. But at around eight weeks, no significant difference was found between both the groups. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this systematic review and meta-analysis, we concluded that there was no significant difference found between the standard SLA and modified SLA implant surfaces.
