Estimation of surface topography for dental implants using advanced metrological technology and digital image processing techniques

- A computerized model of a molar tooth was created in this manuscript.
- Surface characteristics of the original tooth and implant samples were investigated.
- Surface roughness measurement was performed by various measuring instruments.
- Images captured by digital and 3D Laser Scanning Microscope were analyzed.
- FFT analysis represented the surface roughness variation with high correlation.
