What is it about?
This report is a 20-year follow-up of a randomized controlled clinical trial evaluating the potential long-term effect of a modified implant surface on the preservation of the peri-implant marginal bone level.

Why is it important?
It is suggested that a moderate increase of implant surface roughness has no beneficial effect on long-term preservation of the peri-implant marginal bone level. In other words, dental implants with a turned (non-modified) surface preserve peri-implant marginal bone with similar efficacy (if not better) as the implant with moderate surface roughness.
Perspectives
Dental implant with a non-modified surface (i.e.turned surface) may be considered as valid treatment alternative for implant-prosthesis rehabilitation
