Primary Stability of Implants Inserted into Polyurethane Blocks: Micro-CT and Analysis In Vitro.

Unlabelled: The approach employed for the site preparation of the dental implant is a variable factor that affects the implant's primary stability and its ability to integrate with the surrounding bone. The main objective of this in vitro study is to evaluate the influence of different techniques used to prepare the implant site on the primary stability of the implant in two different densities of artificial bone.

Materials And Methods: A total of 150 implant sites were prepared in rigid polyurethane blocks to simulate two distinct bone densities of 15 pounds per cubic foot (PCF) and 30 PCF, with a 1-mm-thick simulated cortex.
