Analysis of Statistics

The mean Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) values and the basic data were tallied. The student paired t-test was used for statistical analysis in order to compare implant stability data. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare the mean ISQ values in the magnetic and non-magnetic sides acquired immediately after implant insertion through a three-month follow-up. Prior to performing the ANOVA test, the data was examined for normality. The mean ISQ values for the magnetic and non-magnetic sides differed significantly. In order to determine whether there are any differences between the follow-ups, a post-hoc test was conducted.

Results

[Table/Fig-5] displays the ISQ results for 10 patients at both the magnetic and non-magnetic sides at particular time intervals. The following are the results of statistical analysis:

1. On the first day (shortly after implant insertion), there was no discernible difference between the mean ISQ readings on the two sides (p=0.823). In the first, second, and third months, the mean ISQ values on the magnetic side were considerably greater than those on the non-magnetic side (p<0.001). [Table/Fig-6].

2. On the magnetic side, the third month had considerably higher mean ISQ values than the second, first, and zero months (p < 0.001). On the non-magnetic side, the third month was noticeably greater than the first, second, and post-implementation months. Likewise, following rapid implant insertion, the second month was considerably higher than the first (p<0.001).  The mean ISQ readings at one month and right after implant insertion did not differ significantly [Table/Fig-7].

Summarize

Study on Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) Analysis

• Utilized student paired t-test and repeated measures ANOVA to compare implant stability data.
• Significant differences observed between the mean ISQ values for magnetic and non-magnetic sides.
• Post-hoc test conducted to determine differences between follow-ups.
• No discernible difference in ISQ readings on the first day post-implant insertion.
• Significant differences observed in ISQ values in the first, second, and third months on the magnetic side.
• Higher mean ISQ values in the third month on the magnetic side than in the second, first, and zero months.
• No significant difference in ISQ readings at one month and right after implant insertion.
