Effect of bone density on the survival of 407 sandblasted and acid-etched dental implants: A retrospective multicenter study.

The high overall survival rate (98%), the average maximal insertion torque (45 N.cm), and the low marginal bone loss indicated good clinical results with acid-etched implants. Despite the relatively high survival rate for each bone quality, the significantly lower results in the D4 group highlight the expected benefits of bone quality-based implants and surgical protocols.
