Influence of implant diameter in the displacement of dental implants in trabecular bovine bone under a static lateral load: experimental results and computational modeling.

Purpose: Primary stability and micromovement of dental implants depend on structural properties of the surrounding bone and on implant dimension and design. The purpose of this study was to provide objective data for the influence of implant diameter on the displacement of titanium screw implants.

Materials And Methods: Ninety Semados implants (length 15 mm, diameter 3.
