Effect of Different Sandblasting Parameters on the Properties of Additively Manufactured and Machined Titanium Surfaces.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
aimIn dentistry, the surfaces of titanium implants are often sandblasted and acid-etched in order to support successful osseointegration. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of various sandblasting parameters on the surface roughness, contact angle and surface energy of additively manufactured (TiAl6V4) and machined commercially pure titanium (cpTi) surfaces. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 56 disc-shaped samples were produced using either laser powder bed fusion (TiAl6V4) or using precision cutting (cpTi). The samples were then sandblasted with different angles, distances, and pressures using an automated sandblasting machine. Afterwards, surface roughness and contact angle for water and diiodomethane were measured, and scanning electron microscopy images were taken.
resultsThe results showed that the initially rough TiAl6V4 samples became smoother after sandblasting, while the smooth cpTi surfaces became rougher. Sandblasting pressure had the most significant influence on surface roughness. The surface energy of sandblasted TiAl6V4 samples showed no significant change compared to the as-built state (26.6±1.3 to 26.3±1.8 mJ/m
conclusionSurface roughness after sandblasting is strongly influenced by the initial surface, which differs in additively manufactured TiAl6V4 samples compared to machined cpTi surfaces.
