objectives: implant primary stability is one of the important factors in achieving implant success. the osteotome technique may improve primary stability in patients with poor bone quality. the aim of this study was to compare implant stability using two different techniques namely osteotome versus conventional drilling in the posterior maxilla. materials and methods: in this controlled randomi...

background and aims. resonance frequency analysis (rfa) offers a noninvasive clinical measurement of stability and osseointegration of implants; it is a useful tool to establish implant loading time. the rfa values are represented by a quantitative unit called the implant stability quotient (isq) on a scale from 1 to 100. the aim of the present study was to measure the stability of astra tech a...

background and aim:  although there have been substantial developments in dental implant therapies, achieving good implant stability (isq >60) for implants inserted in augmented sinus sites appears to be challenging in comparison with non-augmented sites due to the high prevalence of bone resorption in posterior regions of maxilla. this study aimed to evaluate and compare the time required to a...

background and aims: plasma rich in growth factors (prgfs) has been recently proposed as an aid to enhance regeneration of osseous and epithelial tissues in oral surgery. the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of local application of platelet rich plasma (prp) on implant stability measured by periotest. materials and methods: a total of 24 implants were placed in mandible of 12 l...

objective: to determine the pattern of stability changes as a reflection of early healing around single-stage roughened-surface implants in humans utilizing resonance frequency analysis (rfa). materials and methods: hundred twenty-five patients who demanded dental implants were treated with two different implant (nobel biocare replacetm and strummantm iti) systems. bone type was classified into...

objective: to assess the stability changes as a reflection of early healing around roughened- surface implants in human by resonance frequency analysis (rfa). materials and methods: one hundred and fifty one iti sla implants were placed in either maxilla or mandible of 68 patients. bone type was classified into 4 groups according to lekholm and zarb index. rfa was used for direct implant stabil...

the focus of this paper is to evaluate the influence of mechanical characteristics of the implant on primary stability in different bone types, based on resonance frequency analysis (rfa).a number of 60 nobel biocare replace select tiunit tapered implants of two different lengths (10 mm and 13 mm) and three different widths as 3.4 mm (narrow platform (np)), 4.3 mm (regular platform (rp)) and 5 ...
