Safety and efficacy of a biomimetic monolayer of permanently bound multi-phosphonic acid molecules on dental implants: 1 year post-loading results from a pilot quadruple-blinded randomised controlled trial.

Conclusions: Preliminary short-term data (1 year post-loading) of implants with a biomimetic monolayer of permanently bound multi-phosphonic acid molecules (SurfLink surface treatment) presented no safety issues. Clinical healing in both the control and SurfLink-treated implant group was uneventful and did not differ significantly between groups. More challenging clinical situations need to be investigated to evaluate the real effectiveness of this surface treatment. PMID: 24179977 [PubMed - in process]
