Background: Primary implant stability is essential for osseointegration. To increase stability without changing the implant size, the thread length must be extended by reducing pitch, using a double-threaded implant, or reducing pitch/lead and lead angle to half that of a single-threaded implant.

Materials And Methods: We tested the stabilities of these configurations using artificial bone. A 1.2-mm pitch, single-threaded implant (12S) was the control. We tested a 0.6-mm pitch/1.2-mm-lead double-threaded implant (06D) and a 0.6-mm pitch/lead single-threaded implant (06S). We compared stabilities by measuring insertion torque, removal torque, and the implant stability quotient (ISQ). Damage to bone tissue caused by the implants was evaluated using microscopy and morphometric analysis.

Results: We show that 06D and 06S significantly improved stability compared with the 12S reference. The stability of 06S was significantly greater compared with that of 06D, except for ISQ. The three implants were associated with bone tissue damage characterized by debris and voids surrounding the implant/bone interface. The 06D caused the most tissue damage, followed by 06S and then 12S.

Conclusion: These findings indicate that primary stability was significantly improved by changing the implant size, extending the thread length with reduced pitch/lead, and reducing the lead angle to half that of a single-threaded implant compared with a double-threaded implant.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to compare a novel tapered, double-threaded self-tapping tissue-Level design implant (TLC) to a well-established parallel walled tissue-level (TL) implant in terms of primary and secondary stability over time.

Materials And Methods: Test TLC (n = 10/per timepoint) and control TL (n = 10/per timepoint) implants were placed in the mandible of minipigs and left for submerged healing for 3, 6, and 12 weeks. Maximum insertion torque and implant stability quotient (ISQ) were measured for each implant at placement.

Background: Temporary anchorage devices or mini-implants have gained great attraction due to its capability to provide absolute anchorage, low cost, versatility, and can be loaded immediately after placement.

Aims And Objectives: The aim of this study is to use FEA analysis to assess the strain and insertion torque of mini-implants on a bone model at two distinct angulations of 45° and 90°.

Materials And Methods: A computer-aided three-dimensional (3-D) model representing alveolar bone and mini-implants were developed using ANSYS software.

Implant loosening, catastrophic failure of the bone-screw interface, material migration, and loss of stability of the fixation component assembly constitute a serious complication in adult spinal surgery. The contribution of biomechanics is based on experimental measurement and simulation of transpedicular spinal fixations. The cortical insertion trajectory showed an increase in the resistance of the screw-bone interface with respect to the pedicle insertion trajectory, both for axial traction forces to the screw and for stress distribution in the vertebra.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how different implant designs (cylindrical single-threaded vs. tapered double-threaded) affect the stability of dental implants over the first 8 weeks post-implantation using resonance frequency analysis.
  • Twenty-eight implants were placed by inexperienced surgeons in the posterior jaw, and stability was measured at three intervals; results showed an initial decrease in stability, followed by a rise by week eight.
  • While both designs displayed similar stability patterns, the tapered double-threaded implants had higher stability scores than the cylindrical single-threaded implants, but the difference was not statistically significant.

Background: The mini-implants introduced new possibilities of adequate anchorage in orthodontics. Furthermore, due to its small size, it can even be placed at relatively difficult sites with ease. Removal torque should be high to prevent implant unscrewing.
