Statistically significant between the implant surface topographies (Student’s -test = 0.0001), M < SAE; Ra: arithmetic average of the absolute values of all profile points; Rq: the root-mean-square of the values of all points; Rz: the average value of the absolute heights of the five highest peaks and the depths of the five deepest valleys. |
