What is Machined implant
Machined implant has irregular surface roughness from approximately 10μm grooves and ridges in the machining direction. The roughness of implants can be modified by several methods - sandblasting 1 to 10 μm roughness scale, plasma spraying 10 to 100 μm roughness scale. For producing extremely smooth surfaces (eg. Polished collar of implant) electro polishing is done to 0.1 μm scale.
