The surface properties of implants are effective factors for increasing the osseointegration and activity of osteoprogenitor cells. This study compared the stability of dental implants with sandblasted and acid-etched (SLA) and modified surfaces (SLActive) using the resonance frequency analysis (RFA). Methods. In a split-mouth design, 50 dental implants with either SLA surface properties (n = 25) or modified (SLActive) surface properties (n = 25) were placed in the mandibles of 12 patients with a bilateral posterior edentulous area. Implant stability was measured using RFA (Osstell) at implant placement time and every week for 1, 2, and 3 months before the conventional loading time. Results. One week following the implantation, implant stability increased from 70 to 77.67 for SLA and from 71.67 to 79 for SLActive (P [removed] 0.05). Conclusions. For both implant surfaces, increased stability was observed over time, with no significant differences between the groups.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBone-Implant InterfaceDental ImplantsOsseointegrationResonance Frequency AnalysisSLASLActiveArticle15422623110.34172/joddd.2021.0372-s2.0-8512563857135070174Q4
