description Abstract Objective The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate morphology alterations, chemical composition, and topography of moderately rough dental implants following double‐wavelength laser irradiation. Material and Methods Commercial‐grade titanium dental implants representing different surface characteristics (Osseospeed [OS], TiUnite [TiU], and Roxolid SLActive [RS]) were used. Laser irradiation was performed using a computer‐controlled robotic device with calibrated energy/power settings and deionized water spray. Micro‐, nano‐morphology surface alterations, chemical composition, and surface topography (Sa, Sds, Sdr) in the test group (laser plus water), control group A (water only), and control group B (no treatment) were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy‐dispersive X‐ray analysis (EDX), and white light laser profilometer (Interferometry). Results SEM‐evaluation revealed minor between‐group differences in micro‐ and nano‐morphology within each implant system. Significant overall differences in surface element content were observed between the test and control group B for all implant systems (p < .05). For the test compared with control group B, statistically significantly higher oxygen content was detected for OS and RS (p < .05), a corresponding significant difference was detected for carbon for TiU (p < .05). For RS, a significantly lower content of titanium and zirconium was detected within the test group (p < .05). A significant difference in topography between test and control group B was observed for OS (Sa: p = .039 and Sdr: p = .041) with the highest roughness value for control group B. Conclusions Altered chemical composition and surface topography were observed for all implant surfaces compared with untreated control following double wavelength laser irradiation. A clinical evaluation of the impact of the altered surface composition following double wavelength laser irradiation on the ability to reosseointegrate appears warranted.
