Methods : Prospective multicenter non-randomized controlled study on intraosseous stability and healing period for dental implants in the posterior region [2]
Implant treatment was performed in accordance with the procedure recommended by the manufacturer, without bone augmentation. A healing abutment was connected to the implant bodies after insertion (implant insertion in one stage method). A total of 17 dentists (treatment experience, 5–35 years; average, 11.5 years) performed all implant treatments in this study. All dentists who performed the implant treatment in this study were specialist certified by Japan Society of Oral Implantology and had experience of more than 5 years implant treatment.
IT, ISQ, and voxel value were measured in this study. IT was measured immediately after the implant insertion using a torque wrench (GC, Tokyo, Japan).
ISQ was measured throughout the experimental period. To measure ISQ, a Smartpeg Type 21 (Osstell AB, Gothenburg, Sweden) was connected at 5 N cm to the implant body, measured using an Osstell ISQ™ (Osstell AB) three times from the buccal side. Average values were used for the evaluations. ISQ was measured immediately (0 week), and 4, 6, and 12 weeks after surgery in all cases, and also at 2 and 8 weeks after surgery where possible.
In the following cases, the implant body was excluded from the evaluation.
If motion and/or rotation was observed in the implant body.
If the bone surrounding the implant body showed absorption.
If inflammation was observed in tissue surrounding the implant.
If a mandatory ISQ measurement was not performed.
In this study, we performed X-ray image diagnosis using a multi-slice CT (MSCT) or a cone beam CT (CBCT) to confirm the healing of the bone form and volume after the tooth extraction. CT imaging equipment was different for each facility (two models of CBCT and one model of MSCT). It was difficult to make the same evaluation on voxel values obtained from different equipment. The X-ray examination performed in different two models of CBCT at 18 treatment sites and 8 treatment sites. Seven treatment sites were X-ray examined in MSCT. Therefore, bone quality was investigated at 18 treatment areas (8 in the maxilla, 10 in the mandible) on the CBCT performed under standardized conditions, as shown below.
