Effect of implant macro-design on primary stability: A prospective clinical study.

Background: Implant restorations have become a high predictable treatment option. Several caracteristics such as surgical technique and implant design can influence the treatment outcomes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of implant macro-design on primary stability measured with resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and insertion torque (IT).

Relation between bone density and primary implant stability.

Aims: This study aims to relate bone density in Hounsfield units (Hu) with the primary implant stability measured by insertion torque (Ncm) and resonance frequency analysis (ISQ).

Materials And Methods: Ten patients were included in this study. A total of 54 implant sites were provided from 10 computerized tomography scans.

A novel trephine design for sinus lift lateral approach. Case report.

Various techniques are described in the literature, either by crestal or lateral approach. Sinus augmentation has a high percentage of success, but presents a number of intraoperative and postoperative complications. The most frequent complication is the Schneiderian membrane perforation with a percentage of perforations between 11% and 56% according to authors.
