title: Clinical and Histologic Evaluations of SLA Dental Implants.
abstract: The goal of this investigation was to evaluate the efficacy of dental implants
  with a surface that was sandblasted with large grit and acid etched in a human
  model. Seven patients volunteered to allow the biopsy of a small implant in
  exchange for complete dental rehabilitation at no cost. All biopsy sites received
  soft and hard tissue reconstruction, and this report provides observation of
  successful bone-to-implant contact and successful prosthesis construction
  for the patient. The patients enthusiastically reported improved quality of
  life as a result of participation in this study. The surgeons’ confidence in this
  implant was reflected by the clinical and histologic result of the study.
