Abstract

The introduction of dual acid-etched surface led to a change in treatment protocol, predominantly with respect to shortening treatment time. Clinically, implant displayed more predictable outcomes compared to turned surfaces from the same company. Over time, clinicians and industry collaborated to optimize and simplify treatment protocols in order to improve the prognosis in terms of implant survival and peri-implant health. Implant and protocol modifications aimed for shortening the treatment time and widening of the indications for implant treatment in conjunction with improvement of functional as well as aesthetical outcomes. These protocol modifications had the ultimate aim of increasing patient satisfaction. This chapter describes the outcome of dual acid-etched surface alteration in a historical perspective and present finding in terms of implant success and peri-implant outcome. Moreover, modification of the dual acid-etched implant with nanomodified surfaces is described.
