Insertion Speed Affects the Initial Stability of Dental Implants

Abstract Purpose This study investigated the effects of insertion speed dental implants on their stability. Methods Dental were inserted at speeds 4, 10, 20, and 30 rpm, respectively, into artificial bones two different bone qualities; namely, good (GB) poor (PB). Therefore, four qualities totaled eight groups, with five specimens per group. During process, maximum torque value (ITV) was measured, along stability parameters: periotest (PTV) initial quotient (ISQ). Results in GB group exhibited better than those PB (p < 0.001). Significant differences ITVs observed among both groups = 0.004 p 0.034, respectively). In general, higher speed, lower ITV; particular, for 4 rpm measured 20 0.008). However, regardless quality, PTVs did not differ significantly 0.066). ISQs differed 0.016 0.004, Conclusion The parameters all a resulted ITV value. PTV significantly, while ISQ speeds.
