In this limited study, there was a correlation between the thickness of the cortical bone or the voxel values obtained from the CBCT scanning images prior to the implant placement and the implant stabilities. Besides, it was confirmed that the thickness of the cortical bone, the voxel value, and the length of the implant had positive correlations with the ITVs and that the thickness and length had...

Although this study is different from the previous studies in that the thickness of the cortical bone and bone density were determined from the voxel values calculated by CBCT, a significantly positive correlation of the thickness of the cortical bone and the voxel values with ITVs and ISQ values was confirmed as in the previous studies. Furthermore, the multiple regression analysis with the ITVs ...

Ikumi used a MDCT scan for actual patients to calculate the CT values of the 1-mm surrounding area of the planned implant placement site using implant simulation software [25]. However, it is likely that the precise measurement cannot be performed in the case where the actual implant cavity was formed off the planned implant site because the density of the bone around the planned implant site was ...

A significant positive correlation was found between the thickness of the cortical bone and ITVs or ISQ values in all kinds of implants. In addition, a significant positive correlation was also found between the voxel values and ITVs. On the other hand, in the relationship between the voxel values and ISQ values, we cannot confirm a correlation of the implant of 5.0 mm in width and 12.0 mm in le...

All the procedures of forming an implant cavity were unified as follows according to protocols. Firstly, the implant cavity was constructed by using a 2.0-mm-depth drill after marking the implant site using a guide drill. Secondly, a 3.1-mm pilot drill and a 3.1-mm twist drill were used to form a cavity for an implant with 3.8-mm diameter, and a 4.3-mm pilot drill and a 4.3-mm twist drill were use...

A flat part of a pig's ilium was used as the implant placement site to secure as vertical implant placement and an equal depth of insertion to the bone surface as possible (Figure 1). GXCB-500® (GENDEX, Des Plaines, IL, USA) was used as the CBCT device to obtain almost identical voxel values to the CT values that could be obtained from MDCT. Scanning conditions were as follows: the tube current...

It is therefore considered that MDCT is appropriate for the precise evaluation of bone density. However, since the use of CBCT is spreading rapidly among general practitioners, it is clinically of great significance to predict the primary stability after implant placement using the information obtained by CBCT. In addition, in late years, CBCT or the calibration software which can convert the voxe...

Some of the methods to evaluate the bone quality that influences the primary implant stability have already been applied in a clinical practice. Lekholm and Zarb classified bone density into four types in terms of radiography, with the thickness of the cortical bone and the density of the spongy bone as the indexes [14]. This classification method is accepted most commonly at present but is proble...

The primary stability of an implant at the time of placement is considered as one of the key factors for clinical success of implant treatment [1-6]. Orenstein et al. reported that implants that were appropriately stabilized without any mobility at the time of placement had a significantly high survival rate compared with those that were not [7]. The evaluation of the primary implant stability is...

The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between the thickness of the cortical bone or the voxel values that are obtained by cone beam CT (CBCT) and the insertion torque values (ITVs) or the implant stability quotient (ISQ) values. A pig's ilium was used as the implant placement site. The implants used in this study were two kinds of diameters (3.8 mm, 5.0 mm) and two kinds of le...

The results of this animal study indicate that ISQ measurement of these single-piece MDIs is possible with the help of a custom-made SmartPeg and that 3M™ESPE™MDIs attain primary and secondary stability at the same levels as standard implants in the rabbit tibia.

Discussion : Customized SmartPeg for measurement o...

As there are no studies that provide data based on resonance frequency measurements for single-piece MDIs, the exact RFA threshold values for MDIs may have to be identified with more studies conducted in vivo. The resonance frequency assessment with a customized SmartPeg would be a useful tool to provide clinically useful information about the condition of the bone-implant interface of 3M™ ESPE...

Discussion : Customized SmartPeg for measurement o...

If the initial ISQ value is high, a small drop in stability normally levels out with time. A big drop in stability or decrease should be taken as a warning sign. Lower values are expected to be higher after the healing period. The opposite could be a sign of an unsuccessful implant, and actions should be taken accordingly. Studies have shown that the resonance frequency value is greatly associate...

Single use Osstell SmartPegs for standard implants are made from a soft metal with a zinc-coated magnet mounted on top of it and attached to the implants or abutments’ internal threads. As the company does not provide SmartPegs for one-piece implants, we developed a customized SmartPeg for mini dental implants (3M™ESPE™ MDIs), which do not have internal threads (Fig. 1). After confirming th...

There are no published studies on the ISQ measurement of mini dental implants, as SmartPegs for these implants are not available till date. Since these are one-piece implants and do not have an internal thread for the SmartPeg’s attachment, a custom-made SmartPeg needs to be fabricated for ISQ measurement. Therefore, we developed and tested a customized SmartPeg for 3M™ESPE™ MDIs to measure ...

Mechanical testing methods like reverse torque, or “pullout test,” have been used to study and measure the mechanical interface between implant and bone in various ways [22, 23]. The Branemark group has evaluated the mechanical properties of osseointegrated implants using torsion and pullout tests and lateral loading tests [24, 25]. Presence or absence of mobility and the bone level around the...

Osseointegration refers to the phenomenon for close apposition of the bone to the surface of an implant with no interposing tissue that can be clinically demonstrated by absence of mobility [1, 2]. Obtaining primary stability seems to be a precondition for a successful osseointegration [3]. Dental implants have a success rate of over 90% and are available in various sizes with different surfaces [...

Under the ideal conditions of the study herein, the application of a 30-Ncm reverse torque at the time of the stage 2 surgery, before the prosthetic restoration, allowed the clinical identification of the stability of 40 dental implants. Primary stability depends on the micro and macroscopic characteristics of the dental implant. Thus, after the application of a 30-Ncm reverse torque, both implan...

The reverse torque test proposed by Roberts et al. in 1984, and developed by Johansson and Albrektsson in 1987 [6], is considered as a special advantage in stage 2 surgery, because it represents a definitive clinical verification of initial integration of the dental implant with the bone surface. The torque level required is commonly expressed in Newton centimeters (Ncm) [7, 8]. This way, a clini...

Primary stability has been reestablished as a previous clinical requirement to achieve osseointegration. The presence of movements between the surface of the implant and the bone tissue induces a bone resorption that produces fibrointegration, in which the implant is surrounded by an interphase of soft or connective tissue, and not bone tissue [1, 2]. Strategies used to improve bone response incl...

The results of this animal study indicate that ISQ measurement of these single-piece MDIs is possible with the help of a custom-made SmartPeg and that 3M™ESPE™MDIs attain primary and secondary stability at the same levels as standard implants in the rabbit tibia.

As there are no studies that provide data based on resonance frequency measurements for single-piece MDIs, the exact RFA threshold values for MDIs may have to be identified with more studies conducted in vivo. The resonance frequency assessment with a customized SmartPeg would be a useful tool to provide clinically useful information about the condition of the bone-implant interface of 3M™ ESPE...

If the initial ISQ value is high, a small drop in stability normally levels out with time. A big drop in stability or decrease should be taken as a warning sign. Lower values are expected to be higher after the healing period. The opposite could be a sign of an unsuccessful implant, and actions should be taken accordingly. Studies have shown that the resonance frequency value is greatly associate...

Both multislice CT and cone beam CT are used for presurgical assessment of bone density and quality [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]. There is a strong correlation between gray values in cone beam CT and Hounsfield units in multislice CT [4, 12,13,14]. The visual inspection of CT sections avoids the superimposition of anatomical structures seen in radiographs; thus, the region of interest in trabecular bone ca...

Conclusions : Retrospective cohort study of a tape...

This study was based on the recruitment of a quite heterogeneous group of patients treated with NobelActive implants, for the purpose of investigating the influence of local and systemic risk factors on implant survival and marginal bone levels. It can be considered that the presence of local or systemic risk factors does not influence implant survival whereas the combination of local and systemic...

Discussion : Retrospective cohort study of a taper...

A major weakness of the study is the relative small size of the group with systemic RFs (14 implants by 6 patients) as well as of the group with systematic and local RFs (17 implants by 6 patients). Because of the relative small size of the sample, this study can provide the basis for further investigations based on larger patient samples.

The survival rate for 93 implants in 45 patients with no RFs was 94.8%. Moraschini et al. [44] have exhibited in their systematic review, based on 7711 implants, similar SRs with cumulative mean values of 94.6%. Moreover, in the subcohort of our study, by 44 of the above 93, implants were performed immediate procedures (25 immediate implantations, 35 immediate restorations, 16 both of them) so the...

In one patient with three implants and long intake of corticosteroids against rheumatoid arthritis (7.5 mg prednisolone per day for at least 2 years), no complication was detected in our study. Long-term use of corticosteroids can also lead to implant failures, according to Wood and Vermilyea [34] by modifying the patient’s response to bacterial infection [35], but at the present time, there i...

Most implant studies deal only with local risk factors, although the existence of systemic risk factors plays a significant role to the implant survival. We use the NobelActive dental implant in this study in order to investigate if this promising implant with the special design could achieve better survival rates in difficult situations with several risk factors. The present study revealed no sta...

Primary stability is a prerequisite for successful osseointegration and remains the most significant factor for the survival of dental implants [16]. Therefore, current research focuses on amelioration of existing augmentation techniques and materials or on the development of new implants with self-tapping properties for improving bone contact as well for increasing primary stability. The aim of ...

Based on published demographic data, the median age of the world population constantly increases [1]. This has led to an increase in the number of dental implants inserted in senior individuals with local and systemic risk factors [2]. Nevertheless, despite numerous studies having been conducted on this topic, the results remain controversial, almost 50 years after the first dental implant placem...

Clinicians are advised to recognize the risk associated with using a multithreaded implant with a high lead angle, which may compromise primary stability because of greater bone tissue damage despite faster insertion. The question of placement speed warrants further consideration. Indeed, another advantage of double-threaded implants is placement speed. The implantation speed...

Moreover, the IT and RT values of 12S were consistent with those of the standard implant (Straumann) measured in our previous study. Here, the RT value of each implant was lower compared with their respective IT values, consistent with other reports. The IT and RT values of 06S were highest, followed by 06D and 12S. In contrast, the differences between RT and IT values were highest for...

In the artificial bone adjacent to 06D, there were more voids compared with those associated with 06S or 12S, which accounts for the increase in torque. The highest numbers and larger sizes of debris particles were associated with 06D, followed by 0S and 12S, indicating the potential for greater tissue damage. These results likely explain the lower (50%) torque value of 06S compared with tho...

Contrary to the research hypothesis, there was no difference in primary stability between manually and machine-driven inserted implants. To date, little is known about the influence of the insertion mode on the dental implant primary stability. Novsak et al. assumed a better primary stability in implants inserted manually and suspected that this behavior was related to a higher tac...

However, caution is recommended when using under-dimensioned drilling protocols: although high insertion torques ensure a greater initial implant stability and prevent adverse micromotions under loading, the induced over-compression could jeopardize the healing process. In addition, high stress is known to alter angiogenesis and impair new vessel formations, to induce local hypoxia and n...

Discussion This study was performed in order to investigate changes in primary stability within an experimental setup of different insertion protocols and insertion modes. In order to obtain a high level of diagnostic certainty, three different methods for measurement of primary stability were recorded. As a secondary outcome parameter, potential differences between implants of different le...

Preparation protocol for oversized osteotomies (ODP) This protocol repeated the steps of the standard protocol but then added a larger final drill. For the 3.3-mm implants, the final drill size was 3.2 mm; for the 3.75-mm implants, the final drill size was 3.65 mm (Fig. 2). RFA To analyze the data, an Osstell® SmartPeg threaded transducer (implant diameter 3.3 and 3.75 mm: SmartPeg Type ...

Methods Bone specimens Twenty mandibles from fresh porcine cadavers were obtained from a local slaughterhouse. The animals did not show any macroscopic signs of any pathologic bone conditions. After removal of the surrounding soft tissue, the surfaces of the bone samples were thoroughly cleaned. Each sample was checked macroscopically for irregularities and a minimum thickness of 20 mm at th...

Analyzing those, a decrease in primary and an increase in secondary stability with a shorter healing period for implants became apparent. Kim et al. compared the effect of oversized drilling sockets regarding bone-to-implant contact and bone density after 4 and 8 weeks in an in vivo dog model. They used a final drill of 4.00 mm for implants with a diameter of 4 mm in the oversized group and a ...

With increasing stiffness of the bone-implant interface, the vibration frequency of the sensor increases. While RFA is expressed in hertz, implant stability quotient (ISQ) is the scale used to quantify RFA values (range 1–100). Even though RFA has been reported to be a reliable, reproducible, and objective method to measure the stiffness of bone-implant-complex, it has also been reported that R...

Background A reliable option for replacing teeth is the insertion of osseointegrated implants. Dental implant primary stability (DIS) has also been reported to be a fundamental prerequisite for long-term success of dental implants, even though osseointegration has also been achieved without a certain amount of primary stability. Primary stability has been defined as the ability to withstand axi...

Abstract Background Dental implant primary stability is thought to be a fundamental prerequisite for the long-term survival and success. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of protocol and insertion mode on dental implant stability ex vivo. One hundred and twenty implants were inserted either manually or machine-driven into porcine mandibles by a standard or over-dimensioned pro...
