Abstract:AIM:To compare the osseointegration effects of laser/acid/nanotubes-treated ( LAN) and sand-blasted/acid-treated ( SLA) titanium implant surfaces. METHODS:4 LAN implants were embedded in the left tibial bone of 4 Beagle dogs, while 4 SLA implants were embedded in the right tibial bone of the dogs. At 2 and 4 w after op-eration, 2 animals were sacrificed respectively and the tibial bones were taken. Bone ossointegration was observed by histological method. RESULTS:The percentage of bone area ( BA) and bone-implant contact ( BIC) in LAN group were significantly higher than those in SLA group at both 2 and 4 w (P<0. 05) after implantation. CONCLUSION:Laser/acid/nanotube-treated implants are more effective for ossoingrationthan than sandblasted/acid-treated implants.
