Editor’s choice
In this issue, the editor’s choice is the article published in the Journal of Long-Term Effects of Medical Implants “Obesity prolongs the pro-inflammatory response and attenuates bone healing on titanium implants” authored by Derek Avery.
In their study, the authors compared the bacterial adhesion of S. mutans and E. faecalis on sand-blasted acid-etched and anodized titanium dental implants. They showed that “compared with sand-blasted and acid-etched dental implants, anodized dental implants showed higher adhesion of S. mutans and E. faecalis.” These findings support the hypothesis that some of moderately rough surfaces may be more susceptible to the development of peri-implant disorders.
