Abstract
Conventional insertion torque and pull-out tests are destructive and unsuitable for clinical bone screw fixation. This study evaluates screw stability using acoustic modal analysis (AMA) and Periotest compared to traditional methods in an ex vivo animal model. Titanium self-tapping screws (STS) and nonself-tapping screws (N-STS) were implanted in the proximal tibia of 12 rabbits. Four testing methods were used to assess screw stability: peak insertion torque (PIT) during implantation, AMA for natural frequency (NF), Periotest for Periotest value (PTV), and pull-out test for peak pullout force (PPF). Euthanization was performed at 0 (primary stability), 4, and 8 weeks (secondary stability). No significant difference in primary stability was found between STS and N-STS except for AMA (STS: NF 2434 ± 67 Hz, N-STS: NF 2572 ± 43 Hz; p = 0.62). Secondary stability increased significantly over time for both screw types (4-week: NF 3687 ± 36 vs. 3408 ± 45 Hz, PTV 1.4 ± 1.6 vs. -1.5 ± 1.8, PPF 236 ± 29 vs. 220 ± 34 N; 8-week: NF 3890 ± 39 vs. 3613 ± 31 Hz, PTV -3.2 ± 2.5 vs. -2 ± 4.3, PPF 248 ± 25 vs. 289 ± 28 N). Higher NF values for given PTV/PPF indicate potential clinical advantages. Significant differences between primary and secondary stabilities suggest osteointegration was mainly achieved in the 4-week group.

Implant Stability Changes for Nonsubmerged and Submerged Protocols for a Single Implant Mandibular Overdenture Using Ball Attachment. Int J Dent 2021; 2021:8269197. [PMID: 34594381 PMCID: PMC8478597 DOI: 10.1155/2021/8269197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2021] [Accepted: 09/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives To compare the changes in implant stability for the nonsubmerged (NS) and submerged (S) protocols for the single implant retained mandibular overdenture using ball attachment throughout a 24-month follow-up. Materials and Methods Eighty completely edentulous patients were seeking to improve retention of their lower complete denture by installing a single implant in the midline of the completely edentulous mandible. At the day of implant installation, patients were randomized into 2 groups using sealed envelopes: the nonsubmerged (NS) and submerged (S) group. After a 3-month healing period, all patients were randomized using sealed envelopes into ball attachment and CM-LOC attachment. The Periotest readings (PTV) was recorded using the Periotest M device and was recorded every 3 months for the first year and then annually in the second year. The scope of this clinical trial focused only on results of the ball attachment. The Mann–Whitney U test was used for comparison between study groups for independent samples. Two-sided p values less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results There was no statistically significant difference in the mean change in PTV reading between the NS and S group at the different follow-up intervals. Initially, at the day of pickup (baseline) and 3-month follow-up, the mean PTV reading for the NS was greater than that of the S group (−4.471 ± 1.489, −4.391 ± 1.4727 (p=0.913)), while the S group has shown a greater improvement in PTV than the NS group after 6-month follow-up and continued throughout the 24-month follow-up (−5.730 ± 1.7804, −50855 ± 1.2581 (p=1)). Conclusion Both the nonsubmerged and the submerged healing protocol have shown reliable Periotest readings using ball attachment for a single implant retained overdenture. The submerged group has resulted in a greater improvement in Periotest readings after the 12- and 24-month follow-up period when compared to the nonsubmerged group although this improvement was not statistically significant.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to examine the reliability of the Anycheck device and the effect of the healing abutment diameter on the Anycheck values (implant stability test, IST). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty implants were placed into three artificial bone blocks with 10 Ncm, 15 Ncm, and 35 Ncm insertion torque value (ITV), respectively (n = 10). (1) The implant stability was measured with three different kinds of devices (Periotest M, Osstell ISQ Mentor, and Anycheck). (2) Five different diameters (4.0, 4.5, 4.8, 5.5, and 6.0 mm) of healing abutments of the same height were connected to the implants and the implant stability was measured four times in different directions with Anycheck. The measured mean values were statistically analyzed. RESULTS The correlation coefficient between the mean implant stability quotient (ISQ) and IST value was 0.981 (P<.01) and the correlation coefficient between the meant periotest value (PTV) and IST value was −0.931 (P<.01). There were no statistically significant differences among the IST values with different healing abutment diameters. CONCLUSION There was a strong correlation between the Periotest M and Anycheck values and between the ISQ and IST. The diameter of the healing abutment had no effect on the Anycheck values.

Abstract
AIM To measure implant stability using periotest values of implants placed in sockets augmented with calcium phospho-silicate putty (CPS Putty) as compared with implant stability in naturally healed sockets. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty two sockets were implanted with CPS Putty immediately after extraction. The sockets were re-entered after a healing period at 5 to 6 months (average 5.3 months) for implant placement. Periotest values were recorded during implant insertion to assess primary stability. These were compared with the Periotest values of 26 implants placed in 22 patients, with naturally healed sockets. RESULT Periotest values were significantly lower in the grafted group, indicating better implant stability in sites grafted with CPS putty. CONCLUSION Implant stability seems to be significantly higher in sockets augmented using CPS putty when compared to nongrafted sites. This suggests that socket grafting with CPS putty may enhance the quality of available bone for implantation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To survey definitions of bone tissue characteristics and methods of assessing them in studies of dental implant planning and placement. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY Three databases were searched using specified indexing terms. Three reviewers selected from the titles and retrieved abstracts in accordance with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Descriptions of bone tissue characteristics (bone quality, density and quantity) used before or during dental implant placement were searched for and categorized. RESULTS The search yielded 488 titles. One hundred and fort-nine publications were selected and read in full text. One hundred and eight were considered relevant. There were many different definitions and classification systems for bone tissue characteristics and examination protocols. Approximately two-third of the included publications reported the Lekholm & Zarb classification system for bone quality and quantity. However, only four studies implemented the Lekholm & Zarb system as originally proposed. A few publications described bone quality in accordance with the Misch or Trisi and Rao classifications systems. Assessment methods were often described only briefly (or not at all in one-fifth of the publications). Only one study presented the diagnostic accuracy of the assessment method, while only two presented observer performance. CONCLUSION The differing definitions and classification systems applied to dental implant planning and placement make it impossible to compare the results of various studies, particularly with respect to whether bone quality or quantity affect treatment outcomes. A consistent classification system for bone tissue characteristics is needed, as well as an appropriate description of bone tissue assessment methods, their diagnostic accuracy and observer performance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objectives of this in vitro study were to investigate the sensitivity and reliability of the Osstell™ systems (Resonance Frequency Analysis - RFA) compared to the Periotest® system in implant bone simulated conditions. Three conditions were simulated: (1) the direct fixture-bone contact and fibrous tissue fixture contact, (2) The different levels of horizontal bone loss, and (3) The hardening implant-bone interface. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-nine dental implant fixtures were placed in the center of acrylic cubes. In Part I seven fixtures were placed in direct contact with acrylic and another seven were placed in contact with polyvinyl siloxane impression material as soft interface. Part II: four sets of 0, 2, 4 and 6 mm horizontally exposed fixture samples were made (seven fixtures in each set). Part III: seven fixtures were placed in contact with a thin mix of autopolymerizing resin. The stability of these fixtures was measured using Osstell™ and Periotest® systems. RESULTS The mean Periotest® value(PTV) and Osstell™ measurements showed a significant difference between the direct contact and soft interface (P < 0.001). These values also showed statistically significant difference between the different levels of horizontally exposed fixture groups (P < 0.001). The level of horizontal fixture exposure was strongly correlated with the PTVS (r = 0.967) and strongly negatively correlated with Implant Stability Quotient (r = -0.946). A strong correlation was found between the Osstell™ readings and the change in the stiffness of the autopolymerizing resin fixture interface group (r = 0.986). CONCLUSIONS Both Osstell™ and Periotest® systems proved to be sensitive in measuring dental implant stability in hard and in soft interfaces. Osstell™ also proved to be sensitive in detecting changes in the fixture interface stiffness. Osstell™ system proved to be more reliable compared to Periotest® system in measuring dental implant stability in hard and in soft interfaces.

Abstract
This case series evaluated the facial gingival stability following single immediate tooth replacement in conjunction with subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG). Implant success rate and peri-implant tissue response were also reported. Ten patients (6 male, 4 female), with a mean age of 52.1 (range = 22.7 to 67.1) years, underwent immediate implant placement and provisionalization with SCTG and were evaluated clinically and radiographically at presurgery (T0), at the time of immediate tooth replacement and SCTG (T1), and 3 months (T2), 6 months (T3), and 12 months (T4) after surgery. Data were analyzed using the Friedman and Wilcoxon signed-ranks tests at the significance level of α = .05. At 1 year, 9 of 10 implants remained osseointegrated with the overall mean marginal bone change of -0.31 mm and a mean facial gingival level change of -0.05 mm. The modified plaque index scores showed that patients were able to maintain a good level of hygiene throughout the study. The papilla index score indicated that at T4, more than 50% of the papilla fill was observed in 89% of all sites. When proper 3-dimensional implant position is achieved and bone graft is placed into the implant-socket gap, favorable success rate and peri-implant tissue response of platform switching implants can be achieved following immediate tooth replacement in conjunction with subepithelial connective tissue graft.

Abstract
Abstract
It is important to achieve primary stabilization of dental implants that will be immediately loaded. Noninvasive devices that test the stability of immediately provisionalized implants placed into fresh extraction sockets are discussed. A titanium threaded implant was placed into a fresh extraction socket of a patient's nonrestorable mandibular right canine. The implant received an interim restoration immediately following its placement. The stability of the bone-implant complex was evaluated from the day of implant insertion through day 246 using an electronic percussive testing instrument. During the first month the bone-implant complex became progressively less stable reaching a peak measured level of instability at 30 days postimplantation. This was followed by progressive stabilization first measured on day 46 as the implant continued to osseointegrate. These findings suggest that the bone-implant complex became less stable during the first month after implant placement and was followed by a period of progressive stabilization reflecting bone maturation around the implant. A search of the literature found similar results in a study of single-stage implants (not immediately provisionalized) using resonance frequency analysis. The known sequence of wound healing around dental implants is reviewed to explain the findings of this pilot evaluation. Studies that use noninvasive testing devices to assess implant stability at placement and during healing may provide information that can help to optimize implant treatment outcomes.

Abstract
ITI dental implants are available with two bone-anchoring surfaces, a titanium plasma-sprayed (TPS) surface, and a recently introduced sandblasted and acid-etched (SLA) surface. Cell culture and animal tests demonstrate that the SLA surface stimulates bone cell differentiation and protein production, has large amounts of bone-to-implant contact, and results in large removal torque values in functional testing of the bone contact. As a result of these studies, a prospective human clinical trial was initiated to determine whether the 4.1 mm diameter SLA ITI solid screw implants could be predictably and safely restored as early as six weeks after implant placement surgery. The protocol restricted the use of the reduced healing time to a) healthy patients with sufficient bone volume to surround the implant, and b) those patients who had good bone quality (classes I-III) at the implant recipient site. Patients with poorer bone quality (class IV) did not have restorations until 12 weeks after implant placement. The clinical trial is an ongoing multicenter trial, with six centers in four countries, and with follow-up over five years. The primary outcome variable was abutment placement with a 35 Ncm force, with no countertorque and no pain or rotation of the implant. A secondary outcome was implant success, as defined by no mobility, no persistent pain or infection, and no peri-implant radiolucency. To date, 110 patients with 326 implants have completed the one-year post-loading recall visit, while 47 patients with 138 implants have completed the two-year recall. Three implants were lost prior to abutment connection. Prosthetic restoration was commenced after shortened healing times on 307 implants. The success rate for these implants, as judged by abutment placement, was 99.3% (with an average healing time of 49 days). Life table analyses demonstrated an implant success rate of 99.1%, both for 329 implants at one year and for 138 implants at two years. In the 24-month period after restoration, no implant losses were reported for the 138 implants. These results demonstrate that, under defined conditions, solid screw ITI implants with an SLA endosseous surface can be restored after approximately six weeks of healing with a high predictability of success, defined by abutment placement at 35 Ncm without countertorque, and with subsequent implant success rates of greater than 99% two years after restoration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although rigid fixation of endosseous implants at the time of placement is generally thought to be a prerequisite for successful osseointegration, the Dental implant Clinical Research Group (DICRG) of the Department of Veterans Affairs has reported on implants that integrated despite being mobile at placement. The present study examines the frequency of osseointegration and the 36-month post-placement survival of implants mobile at placement in a prospective, multicenter, longitudinal clinical study of more than 3,000 implants conducted by the DICRG. METHODS A total of 3,111 implants of 6 different designs were placed in all jaw regions in more than 800 patients at 32 study centers. At the time of this report, 2,770 of these implants had been followed for 36 months post-placement. They included 89 implants that were mobile at placement. Data for demographic variables, implant coating, bone quality, incision type, bone augmentation, and antibiotic usage were recorded. An electronic hand-held probe was used to measure mobility at uncovering and at regular follow-up intervals. RESULTS Eighty-nine of 2,770 inserted implants were mobile at placement. Results are reported for two periods: from placement to 36 months and from prosthetic loading to 36 months. The latter method eliminated early failures and resulted in substantially higher scores for both mobile implants at placement (95.9% survival from prosthetic loading to 36 months post-placement versus 79.8% from placement to 36 months) and implants not mobile at placement (98.4% versus 93.4%). Mobility at placement was significant to 3-year survival (P < 0.001). Hydroxyapatite (HA) coating improved the performance of implants mobile at placement (91.8% for HA-coated versus 53.6% for non-HA) and those not mobile at placement (97.2% for HA-coated versus 87.4% for non-HA). Radiographic findings suggested that crestal bone response around implants which were mobile versus immobile at placement was similar. CONCLUSIONS Although implant stability at the time of placement is clearly desirable as seen in the superior 3-year survival of stable implants, it may not be an absolute prerequisite to osseointegration or to long-term survival. Several factors may influence the decision to remove or replace a mobile implant. HA-coating significantly improved the performance of both mobile and immobile implants at placement to 3 years post-placement (P < 0.001).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous new implant designs and materials have become available over the last decade, each with special claims of superiority in restoring complex cases. Differences in existing clinical databases, study designs, and methods of determining failures/survival are seldom standardized, which complicates comparisons of clinical performance of these new designs. Little information is available concerning the changes in stability of various designs and materials following clinical loading. METHODS A total of 30 VA medical centers and 2 dental schools combined to form the Dental Implant Clinical Research Group (DICRG). More than 2,900 implants were placed, restored and data gathered from the time of placement to 36 months. Implant stability from uncovering to 36 months and survival from placement to 36 months were determined. Survival was determined using two different approaches--considering all implants removed at any time, regardless of the reason (DICRG approach), and considering only those that were removed following loading of the prosthesis (post-loading approach). Survival was also determined for each of the three phases of implant treatment--phase 1, from the time of placement to uncovering and abutment connection; phase 2, from uncovering to placement and loading of the prosthesis; and phase 3, from loading of the prosthesis to 36 months. RESULTS The two approaches to determining survival for each implant design and/or material included in the study showed differences in reported numbers ranging from 1.1% to 21.7%. The largest difference in survival was for the commercially pure titanium screw (used in this study only in the maxillary completely edentulous applications), which showed a 21.7% greater survival rate. With the DICRG approach, the hydroxyapatite (HA)-cylinder had the highest survival (97.5%). When considering the post-loading approach, the titanium-alloy screw had the highest survival (99.4%), with the HA-cylinder having the next highest survival (98.6%). The HA-cylinder did not show increased stability from uncovering to 36 months, and the HA-grooved implant became less stable. CONCLUSIONS HA-coated implants demonstrated the highest survival rate; 2) the post-loading analysis approach inflated survival; 3) non-HA implants showed increased stability following loading; 4) HA-coated implants showed a slight decrease or no change in stability; and 5) the clinical significance of the changes in implant stability must be determined for the long-term.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maintenance of the health and integrity of the bone-implant complex (osseointegration) has been shown to be essential for long term success of root-form, endosseous dental implants. If reliable clinical indicators of adequacy of the bone-implant complex existed, they could stimulate new and innovative early intervention research to arrest of reverse early deterioration of the bone-implant complex. In the absence of such indicators, this has been problematic. The Periotest may have the potential to provide this information by indirectly assessing the status of the bone-implant complex. However, little information is available that documents either the capability of the Periotest to reliably assess changes of the bone-implant complex or the "normal variations" in Periotest values (PTVs) for both HA-coated and non-coated implants. METHODS The purpose of this paper was to document changes in PTVs as influenced by various implant surfaces, implant designs, and bone densities. The mean PTVs recorded for each visit, for all implant types and bone densities, were combined to provide an overall average PTV (A-PTV). The changes in stability (PTVs) were analyzed using a generalized linear model (GLM) with repeated measures (Hotelling's Trace). RESULTS The A-PTV for all implants over all visits was -3.5. The mean PTVs ranged from -4.2 (SD = 2.4) at uncovering to -3.9 (SD = 2.9) at 60 months. All implants in bone qualities 1 and 2 (BQ-1 and BQ-2) became more stable over time, while those in bone quality 3 or 4 (BQ-3 and BQ-4) showed a slight decrease in stability. In BQ-1, the mean PTVs increased from -4.7 at uncovering to -4.9 at 60 months. A similar increase in stability occurred in BQ-2 (-4.1 at uncovering to -4.4 at 60 months). In BQ-3, the stability of the implants decreased over time (-3.6 at uncovering to -2.9 at 60 months), with similar changes recorded for BQ-4 (-2.5 at uncovering to -1.0 at 60 months). When comparing the stability of all HA-coated with all non-coated implants, the HA implants became less stable (-4.4 to -3.4) over time, while non-coated implants showed an improvement in stability (-3.5 to -4.5). The changes in stability found in BQ-1, BQ-2, and BQ-3 were similar, with HA implants becoming less stable and non-coated more stable. HA- and non-coated comparisons were not possible in BQ-4 since there were too few non-coated implants placed in this type of bone. The HA-coated screw showed a decrease in stability when compared to the non-coated screw. CONCLUSIONS Conclusions of the study are as follows: 1) PTVs are influenced by bone quality and surface coating of the implant; 2) the PTVs at the time of uncovering provide the best estimate of a clinically acceptable PTV for that bone-implant complex; 3) while the PTVs for any bone-implant complex may fluctuate +/- 1.0 around the uncovering PTV during routine healing and loading of the implant, a consistent shift toward a positive PTV that approaches "0" should be cause for concern that the bone-implant complex may be at risk of failure; 4) HA-coated implants became slightly less stable (more positive PTVs) over time, while the non-coated implants became more stable (more negative PTVs); and 5) until a "critical PTV" can be accurately identified, it is suggested that a consistent shift in recorded PTVs that exceeds the +3.0 value on the PTV scale should be viewed with concern for possible deterioration at the bone-implant complex.

Abstract
This study examined 1) factors that contributed to implant stability at placement and 2) the likelihood for an implant that was mobile at placement to osseointegrate. Eighty-one (3.1%) of 2,641 implants placed by the Dental Implant Clinical Research Group between 1991 and 1995 were found to be mobile at placement. Seventy-six (93.8%) of the 81 mobile implants were integrated at uncovering compared to 97.5% for the 2,560 immobile implants. Variables that influenced mobility at placement included patient age, implant design and material, anterior-posterior jaw location, bone density, and use of a bone tap. Hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated implants were slightly more likely to be mobile at placement (P = 0.324) than non-hydroxypatite (HA)-coated implants. Of the 54 HA-coated implants that were mobile at placement, all (100%) integrated, while only 17 (81.5%) of the 22 mobile non-HA-coated implants integrated (P = 0.003). Mean electronic mobility testing device values (PTVs) at uncovering for all implants mobile or immobile at placement that integrated were -2.9 and -3.6 respectively. PTVs for HA-coated implants that were mobile (-3.5 PTV) or immobile (-4.0 PTV) at placement differed by 0.5 PTV, whereas non-HA-coated implants exhibited a greater difference of 1.2 PTVs at uncovering. HA-coated implants, regardless of mobility at placement, integrated more frequently and exhibited greater stability than non HA-coated implants.

Abstract
Periotest values (Periotest, Siemens AG, Bensheim, Germany) were recorded as a baseline variable at surgical uncovering in the ongoing multicenter, prospective clinical studies of the Dental Implant Clinical Research Group, which uses implants from the Spectra-System (Core-Vent Corporation, Las Vegas, NV). For 2,212 osseointegrated implants, the mean Periotest value (PTV) of mandibular implants was -4.14 (anterior, -4.22; posterior, -4.06) versus -3.24 for maxillary implants (anterior, -2.91; posterior, -3.91). Implants in the densest bone (quality 1) had the lowest mean PTV (-4.13), followed by quality 2 (-4.00), quality 3 (-3.58), and quality 4 (-2.64).
