Resonance frequency analysis of 208 Straumann dental implants during the healing period.

The most important prerequisite for the success of an osseointegrated dental implant is achievement and maintenance of implant stability. The aim of the study was to measure the 208 Straumann dental implant stability quotient (ISQ) values during the osseointegration period and determine the factors that affect implant stability. A total of 164 of the implants inserted were standard surface, and 44 of them were SLActive surface.

Influence of different suturing techniques on periodontal health of the adjacent second molars after extraction of impacted mandibular third molars.

Objective: The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to compare the effects of different suturing techniques (simple loop suture vs. anchor suture) on the periodontal health of the adjacent second molars after impacted mandibular third molar extraction.

Study Design: Fifteen patients with bilaterally identical impacted mandibular third molars were used.
