Salim HA, Naser AI, Aldabagh AN. The effect of length and diameter of dental implants on primary stability (experimental study on tibia of the sheep). Edorium J Dent 2019;6:100036D01HS2019.ABSTRACT
Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of different length and diameter of the implant on primary stability and was measured by Osstell mentor
Methods: Ten fresh natural tibia bones of sheep and fifty-five dental implants were used in this study. The sheep bones were divided into two groups. In one group the different length with the same diameter was considered, while in second group different diameter with the same length was included. An incision was made along the longitudinal axis of the lateral surface of the tibia. Drilling was accomplished in a sequence recommended by the system manufacturer. Thereafter, dental implants were carefully installed and fixed manually till implant bodies submerged in the bone. Osstell device was used to evaluate the resonance frequency after implant placement.
Results: After statistical analysis obtained from the values of resonance frequency analysis (RFA), it was found that when implant length was increased, there was an increase in implant stability. There was increase in the primary stability with an increase in the implant diameter as well.
Conclusion: Primary stability is the most important clinical goal to be achieved at the time of implant placement. RFA has great potential to predict implant stability while being noninvasive and reproducible.
