Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:1101. [PMID: 38675020 PMCID: PMC11054415 DOI: 10.3390/polym16081101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of a flexible synthetic polymer bone graft to provide implant stability during implant placement in a dense cortical bone model. In the control group (Group 1), sockets were prepared on polyurethane blocks according to the standard implant socket drilling protocol; both oversizing and deepening were applied in Group 2; and only oversizing was applied in Group 3. In Groups 2 and 3, flexible synthetic polymer bone grafts were placed in the sockets prior to implant placement. The implants were placed at the bone level in all groups. The highest torque value obtained was recorded as the insertion torque. In this study, 75 implant sites were included across three groups. The torque values of the implants in the control group were significantly higher than those of the implants with the oversized and deepened sockets and the oversized-only sockets (p < 0.05; p < 0.01). The torque values of the implants with the oversized and deepened sockets were significantly higher than those of the implants with the oversized-only sockets (p < 0.01). In this study, a flexible synthetic polymer bone graft was shown to be effective in achieving implant stability in the management of implants where there has been a loss of primary stability.

J Dent Res Dent Clin Dent Prospects 2023; 17:112-118. [PMID: 37649820 PMCID: PMC10462463 DOI: 10.34172/joddd.2023.39248] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background This study evaluated the success and survival rate of sandblasted and acid-etched dental implants according to the patient's bone quality. Methods A multicenter retrospective study was conducted in five clinical centers between 2016 and March 2019. A total of 407 implants (KONTACTTM S, Biotech Dental, France) placed in 229 patients (61.5±12.9 years old) were included. Bone quality, classified as types D1 to D4 (Misch classification), maximal insertion torque, and bone loss were measured. The implant survival rate was evaluated after one year for the overall cohort and for each bone quality. The overall survival rate after four years was also estimated with a Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results After one year (12.8±9.6 months), eight implants were lost out of 407, representing an overall survival rate of 98%. It ranged from 100% for D1 to 89.7% for D4 (n=39), with significantly higher survival rates for D2 (n=93) and D3 (n=165) (98.9% and 98.2%, respectively) compared to D4. According to the Kaplan-Meier analysis, an overall survival rate of 96.5% was estimated after four years. An average maximal insertion torque of 45±12.6 N.cm and bone loss of 0.2±1.2 mm were measured. Conclusion The high overall survival rate (98%), the average maximal insertion torque (45 N.cm), and the low marginal bone loss indicated good clinical results with acid-etched implants. Despite the relatively high survival rate for each bone quality, the significantly lower results in the D4 group highlight the expected benefits of bone quality-based implants and surgical protocols.

Investigation of the Influence of Roughness and Dental Implant Design on Primary Stability via Analysis of Insertion Torque and Implant Stability Quotient: An In Vitro Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:4190. [PMID: 37445228 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12134190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
In the placement of dental implants, the primary fixation between the dental implant and the bone is of great importance and corresponds to compressive mechanical fixation that aims to prevent micromovement of the implant. The aim of this research was to determine the role of roughness and the type of dental implant (tissue-level or bone-level) in implant stability, measured using resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and insertion torque (IT). We analyzed 234 titanium dental implants, placed in fresh calf ribs, at the half-tissue level and half-bone level. The implant surface was subjected to grit-blasting treatments with alumina particles of 120, 300, and 600 μm at a projection pressure of 2.5 bar, resulting in three types of roughness. Roughness was determined via optical interferometry. The wettability of the surfaces was also determined. Implant stability was measured using a high-precision torquemeter to obtain IT, and RFA was used to determine the implant stability quotient (ISQ). The results show that rough surfaces with Sa values of 0.5 to 4 μm do not affect the primary stability. However, the type of implant is important; bone-level implants obtained the highest primary stability values. A good correlation between the primary stability values obtained via IT and ISQ was demonstrated. New in vivo studies are necessary to know whether these results can be maintained in the long term.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:3261. [PMID: 37110097 PMCID: PMC10146056 DOI: 10.3390/ma16083261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 04/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The primary stability of a dental implant is critical for successful osseointegration during immediate loading. The cortical bone should be prepared to achieve enough primary stability, but not overcompressed. In this study, we investigated the stress and strain distribution in the bone around the implant induced by the occlusal force applied during immediate loading at various bone densities by the FEA method to compare cortical tapping and widening surgical techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS A three-dimensional geometrical model of a dental implant and bone system was created. Five types of bone density combination (D111, D144, D414, D441 and D444) were designed. Two surgical methods-cortical tapping and cortical widening-were simulated in the model of the implant and bone. An axial load of 100 N and an oblique load of 30 N were applied to the crown. The maximal principal stress and strain were measured for comparative analysis of the two surgical methods. RESULTS Cortical tapping showed lower maximal stress of bone and maximal strain of bone than cortical widening when dense bone was located around the platform, regardless of the direction of the applied load. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this FEA study, it can be concluded that cortical tapping is biomechanically more advantageous to the implants under occlusal force during immediate loading, especially when the bone density around the platform is high.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Primary stability (PS) is remarkable for secondary stability and implant success. Surgical technique modifications seem to improve primary stability, especially in poor quality bone. The aim of this study was to compare the insertion torque (IT) and implant stability quotients (ISQ) of implants placed with underpreparation, expanders, and standard surgical instrumentation in different bone types. MATERIAL AND METHODS This randomized controlled clinical trial enrolled 108 patients (n=108 implants) distributed in three study groups: group 1 (n=36) underpreparation technique, group 2 (n=36) expander technique, and group 3 (n=36) conventional drilling. IT was recorded with a torque indicator. ISQ was recorded with resonance frequency analysis immediately after surgery. RESULTS ISQ values were associated with the patient's bone quality and were higher in bone quality type II (76.65) and type III (73.60) and lower in bone quality type IV (67.34), with statistically significant differences (p<0.0001). Lower stability results were obtained when conventional drilling (69.31) was used compared to the use of underpreparation (74.29) or expanders (73.99) with a level of significance of p=0.008 and p=0.005, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The surgical technique influences the PS when there is low-quality bone. In low-quality bones, conventional drilling obtains lower ISQ values. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Replace the conventional drilling technique for an alternative, underpreparation or expanders, in low-quality bone in order to achieve greater primary stability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary objective of this ex vivo study was to assess the influence of increasing insertion torques on three types of dental implants and possible alterations of their microgeometry after the application of three different torque intensities. METHODS 27 implants of 3 different implant brands (Groups A, B and C) were placed in cow ribs using 30 Ncm, 45 Ncm and 55 Ncm insertion torques. The implants were subsequently removed using trephine burs, and SEM analysis was carried out in order to detect implant surface and connection changes, as compared to the implant controls. RESULTS Surface deformations were predominantly observed on the third apical part of the implants. The alterations presented with increasing insertion torques, with 45 Ncm being the threshold value. Prosthetic connections were also compromised. CONCLUSIONS The changes sustained by the implants were proportional to the insertion torque they were subjected to; 45 Ncm and greater insertion torques resulted in more consistent damage, both on the implant surface and the implant connection.

Abstract
Self-tapping implants with self-cutting flutes may influence primary stability, especially for the immediate implant placement and restoration protocol in which implants are affixed to the bone in the apical portion. Screw geometry differs between brands, and the effect of apical design on its clinical outcomes remains unclear. This study is aimed at investigating the influence of cutting flute shape (spiral, straight, and without flute) on primary stability by using a dynamic experimental test. Six types of dental implants were designed using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing technology, consisting of three types of cutting flute shapes along with two types of screw features. A dynamic mechanical test was performed using a cyclic loading scheme. The mechanical behaviors of resistance to lateral load (RLL), maximum force, and energy dissipation were compared between groups. In the dynamic test, implants without cutting flute also exhibited higher values in RLL, maximum force, and energy dissipation. The aggressive thread implant with straight flute displayed higher RLL and had a significantly higher values in RLL (p = 0.033) at the threshold point of bone-implant interface breakdown. The implants without cutting flutes exhibited higher primary stability. Straight flute design would improve RLL for aggressive thread implant.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
This study investigated the effects of insertion speed of dental implants on their stability.
Methods
Dental implants were inserted at speeds of 4, 10, 20, and 30 rpm, respectively, into artificial bones of two different bone qualities; namely, good bone (GB) and poor bone (PB). Therefore, the four insertion speeds and two bone qualities totaled eight groups, with five specimens per group. During the insertion process, the maximum insertion torque value (ITV) was measured, along with two stability parameters: periotest value (PTV) and initial stability quotient (ISQ).
Results
Dental implants in the GB group exhibited better stability than those in the PB group (p < 0.001). Significant differences in ITVs were observed among the four insertion speeds in both the GB and PB groups (p = 0.004 and p = 0.034, respectively). In general, the higher the insertion speed, the lower the ITV; in particular, the ITVs for implants inserted at 4 rpm were higher than those measured at 20 and 30 rpm (p = 0.008). However, regardless of the bone quality, the PTVs did not differ significantly among the four insertion speeds (p = 0.066). In both the GB and PB groups, the ISQs differed significantly differences among the four insertion speeds (p = 0.016 and p = 0.004, respectively).
Conclusion
The stability parameters measured for dental implants in the GB group were all higher than those measured in the PB group. In general, a higher insertion speed resulted in a lower ITV value. The PTV did not differ significantly, while the ISQ differed significantly among the four insertion speeds.

Contemporary Concepts in Osseointegration of Dental Implants: A Review. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:6170452.

Abstract
In a society highly conscious of esthetics, prosthetic rehabilitation of lost teeth with tissue-integrated implants has gained wide acceptance and demand by patients and clinicians. The backbone of these tissue-integrated implants is the biotechnical process of osseointegration. Although the concept has been introduced and discussed for ages, the deepening knowledge about its cellular and molecular mechanisms has led the researchers to borrow further into the factors influencing the process of osseointegration. This has aided in the hastening and improving the process of osseointegration by exploiting several, even the minutest, details and events taking place in this natural process. Recently, due to the high esthetic expectations of the patients, the implants are being loaded immediately, which demands a high degree of implant stability. Implant stability, especially secondary stability, largely depends on bone formation and integration of implants to the osseous tissues. Various factors that influence the rate and success of osseointegration can either be categorized as those related to implant characteristics like the physical and chemical macro- and microdesign of implants or the bone characteristics like the amount and quality of bone and the local and systemic host conditions, or the time or protocol followed for the functional loading of the dental implant. To address the shortcomings in osseointegration due to any of the factors, it is mandatory that continuous and reliable monitoring of the status of osseointegration is done. This review attempts to encompass the mechanisms, factors affecting, and methods to assess osseointegration, followed by a discussion on the recent advances and future perspectives in dental implantology to enhance the process of osseointegration. The review was aimed at igniting the inquisitive minds to usher further the development of technology that enhances osseointegration.

Abstract
The present experimental trial uses two types of dental implants, one made of titanium (Ti6Al4V) and the other one of zirconia (ZrO2), but both of identical design, to compare their stability and micro-movements values under load. One of each type of implant (n = 42) was placed into 21 cow ribs, recording the insertion torque and the resonance frequency using a specific transducer. Subsequently, a prosthetic crown made of PMMA was screwed onto each of the implants in the sample. They were then subjected to a static compression load on the vestibular cusp of the crown. The resulting micromovements were measured. The zirconia implants obtained a higher mean of both IT and RFA when compared with those of titanium, with statistically significant differences in both cases (p = 0.0483 and p = 0.0296). However, the micromovement values when load was applied were very similar for both types, with the differences between them (p = 0.3867) not found to be statistically significant. The results show that zirconia implants have higher implant stability values than titanium implants. However, the fact that there are no differences in micromobility values implies that caution should be exercised when applying clinical protocols for zirconia based on RFA, which only has evidence for titanium.

Abstract
Dental surgery implantation has become increasingly important among procedures that aim to rehabilitate edentulous patients to restore esthetics and the mastication ability. The optimal stability of dental implants is correlated primarily to the quality and quantity of bone. This systematic literature review describes clinical research focusing on the correlation between cortical bone thickness and primary/secondary stability of dental fixtures. To predict successful outcome of prosthetic treatment, quantification of bone density at the osteotomy site is, in general, taken into account, with little attention being paid to assessment of the thickness of cortical bone. Nevertheless, local variations in bone structure (including cortical thickness) could explain differences in clinical practice with regard to implantation success, marginal bone resorption or anchorage loss. Current knowledge is preliminarily detailed, while tentatively identifying which inconclusive or unexplored aspects merit further investigation.

MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14102645. [PMID: 34070127 PMCID: PMC8158354 DOI: 10.3390/ma14102645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2021] [Revised: 05/13/2021] [Accepted: 05/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Background: Stress concentrated at an implant’s neck may affect bone-to-implant contact (BIC). The objective of this study was to evaluate four different implant neck designs using two different drilling protocols on the BIC. Methods: Ninety-six implants were inserted in 12 minipigs calvarium. Implants neck designs evaluated were: type 1–6 coronal flutes (CFs), 8 shallow microthreads (SMs); type 2–6 CFs,4 deep microthreads (DMs); type 3–4 DMs; type 4–2 CFs, 8 SMs. Two groups of forty-eight implants were inserted with a final drill diameter of 2.8 mm (DP1) or 3.2 mm (DP2). Animals were sacrificed after 1 and 3 months, total-BIC (t-BIC) and coronal-BIC (c-BIC) were evaluated by nondecalcified histomorphometry analysis. Results: At 1 month, t-BIC ranged from 85–91% without significant differences between implant types or drilling protocol. Flutes on the coronal aspect impaired the BIC at 3 m. c-BIC of implant types with 6 CFs was similar and significantly lower than that of implant types 3 and 4. c-BIC of implant type 4 with SMs was highest of all implant types after both healing periods. Conclusions: BIC was not affected by the drilling protocol. CFs significantly impaired the -BIC. Multiple SMs were associated with greater c-BIC.

Evaluation of the primary stability in dental implants placed in low density bone with a new drilling technique, Osseodensification: an in vitro study. Med Oral Patol Oral Cir Bucal 2021; 26:e361-e367. [PMID: 33037795 PMCID: PMC8141313 DOI: 10.4317/medoral.24231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2020] [Accepted: 09/24/2020] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Primary stability is an important key determinant of implant osseointegration. We investigated approaches to improve primary implant stability using a new drilling technique termed osseodensification (OD), which was compared with the conventional under-drilling (UD) method utilized for low-density bones.
Material and Methods We placed 55 conical internal connection implants in each group, in 30 low-density sections of pig tibia. The implants were placed using twist drill bits in both groups; groups Under Drilling (UD) and Osseodensification (OD) included bone sections subjected to conventional UD and OD drilling, respectively. Before placing the implants, we randomized the bone sections that were to receive these implants to avoid sample bias. We evaluated various primary stability parameters, such as implant insertion torque and resonance frequency analysis (RFA) measurements.
Results The results showed that compared with implants placed using the UD technique, those placed using the OD technique were associated with significantly higher primary stability. The mean insertion torque of the implants was 8.87±6.17 Ncm in group 1 (UD) and 21.72±17.14 Ncm in group 2 (OD). The mean RFA was 65.16±7.45 ISQ in group 1 (UD) and 69.75±6.79 ISQ in group 2 (OD).
Conclusions The implant insertion torque and RFA values were significantly higher in OD group than in UD. Therefore, compared with UD, OD improves primary stability in low-density bones (based on torque and RFA measurements). Key words:Osseodensification, primary stability, low density bone, RFA.

Effect of macrogeometry and bone type on insertion torque, primary stability, surface topography damage and titanium release of dental implants during surgical insertion into artificial bone. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2021; 119:104515. [PMID: 33932754 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2021.104515] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2020] [Revised: 03/12/2021] [Accepted: 04/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
This study investigated the influence of implant macrogeometry and bone type on insertion torque (IT), primary stability (ISQ), surface topography damage, and the amount of titanium (Ti) released during insertion. Forty implants with different macrogeometries (Facility - Cylindrical with spiral-shaped threads; Alvim - Tapered with buttress-shaped threads) were inserted into artificial bone types I-II and III-IV. Surface morphology was evaluated by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and roughness parameters with Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy (LSCM) before and after insertion (AI). Implant macrogeometry was characterized by LSCM. The chemical composition of bone beds was determined by SEM associated with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy. The amount of Ti released was analyzed with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence. Alvim had greater IT and ISQ than Facility. Bone types I-II require higher IT of implants. Alvim also had greater internal threads angle, higher initial roughness, and significant reduction of roughness AI, compared to Facility. The functional surface height reduced AI, especially in flank and valley of threads. Height of surface roughness of Alvim and Facility implants was similar AI. Implants surface morphology changes and metallic particles on bone beds were observed after implant insertion, mainly into bone types III-IV. Implants inserted into bone types I-II showed less surface damage. Alvim implants released more Ti (37.52 ± 25.03 ppm) than Facility (11.66 ± 28.55 ppm) on bone types III-IV. The implant macrogeometry and bone types affect IT, ISQ, surface damage, and Ti amount released during insertion. Alvim implants were more wear susceptible, releasing higher Ti concentration during insertion into bone types III-IV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare implant and prosthesis survival rates between full-arch immediate prostheses supported by 4 hydrophilic implants with bicortical anchorage and by 5 or 6 hydrophilic implants placed without bicortical anchorage. MATERIAL AND METHODS The sample was retrospectively selected and comprised completely edentulous patients treated with full-arch immediate prostheses supported by Morse Taper hydrophilic implants. The selected patients were divided into four groups, according to the region of implant placement and type of anchorage. Differences in implant and prosthesis survival rates between groups, as well as the influence of bicortical anchorage on implant primary stability, were verified using Fisher's exact tests (significant at p < .05). RESULTS The sample comprised 392 implants, 72 were placed in the maxilla with bicortical anchorage, and 85 were placed without. In the mandible, 140 implants were placed with and 95 were placed without bicortical anchorage. The follow-up period was up to 24 months. A 98.8% implant survival rate was observed for the group of implants placed without bicortical anchorage in the maxilla, and of 100% for the other groups. The overall implant survival rate was 99.7% (391 of 392 implants). Prosthesis survival rate was 100% for all groups. No differences were observed between groups with respect to implant and prosthesis survival rates. Significantly higher primary stability was observed for implants placed with bicortical anchorage in both jaws. CONCLUSION Predictable results and high survival rates were achieved within the period evaluated by the present retrospective study, with immediate full-arch prostheses when only four hydrophilic implants are placed bicortically.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of the study is to assess the method of implant insertion in D3 and D4 bones and influence of insertion torque for achieving better primary implant stability. Materials and Methods: A total of 32 specimens (wood blocks) simulating D4 and D3 bone were grouped into 1, 2, 3, and 4. In groups 1 and 3, the implant and abutment were placed by manual method while in groups 2 and 4 by motor-driven method. The osteotomy site was prepared as per the protocol for soft bone, and implants were placed till the implant platform was in flush with the surface of the block. After achieving a standard insertion torque of 40 N.cm, pullout test was carried out with a universal testing machine and results were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance. Results: An intergroup comparison of peak loads revealed an overall statistically significant difference (P < 0.0001) with a mean of 442.638 N, maximum in group 4 and least (202.963 N) in group 1. The mean elongation break was found to be maximum in group 3 samples (81.67600%) and less in group 4 (37.15113%). Intergroup comparison of Young’s modulus was statistically significant (P < 0.0001) with a mean value found to be minimum among group 1 samples (597.54750 MPa) and maximum in group 2 (1056.76463 MPa). An intergroup comparison of yield points was found to be maximum among group 4 samples (16.17238MPa) and least in group 1 (5.77438MPa). Conclusion: The D3 bone sample provided greater primary stability of implant than D4 bone samples, and the motor-driven implant seemed to have improved stability than that placed manually.

Effects of Different Undersizing Site Preparations on Implant Stability. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17238965.

Abstract
As immediate loading protocols are becoming more frequent, the primary stability of implants has become an essential criterion for the osseointegration of dental implants. Based on this, the objective of this study was to understand the influence of different undersized surgical preparation sites on the insertion torque (IT) and implant stability quotient (ISQ). Four different site-preparation protocols were performed on fresh humid type III bovine bone: one control, the standard protocol recommended by the manufacturer (P1), and three variations of undersized techniques (P2, P3 and P4). The implant used was VEGA by Klockner Implant System. The sample size was n = 40 for each of the four groups. A torquemeter was used to measure the IT, and the ISQ was measured with a Penguin RFA. Both variables showed a tendency to increase as the preparation technique was reduced, although not all the values were statistically significant (p < 0.05) when comparing with the standard preparation. The preparations without a cortical drill, P2 and P4, showed better results than those with a cortical drill. Given the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that reducing the implant preparation can increase both the IT and ISQ. Removing the cortical drill is an effective method for increasing implant stability, although it should be used carefully.

Silva GAF, Faot F, da Silva WJ, Del Bel Cury AA. Does implant surface hydrophilicity influence the maintenance of surface integrity after insertion into low-density artificial bone? Dent Mater 2020; 37:e69-e84. [PMID: 33234316 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2020.10.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2020] [Revised: 08/05/2020] [Accepted: 10/24/2020] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of hydrophilicity on the surface integrity of implants after insertion in low-density artificial bone and to determine the distribution of titanium (Ti) particles along the bone bed. METHODS Forty-eight dental implants with different designs (Titamax Ex, Facility, Alvim, and Drive) and surface treatments (Neoporos® and Aqua™) were inserted into artificial bone blocks with density compatible with bone type III-IV. Hydrophobic Neoporos® surfaces were obtained by sandblasting and acid etching while hydrophilic Aqua™ surfaces were obtained by sandblasting, acid etching, and storage in an isotonic 0.9% NaCl solution. The surface integrity was evaluated by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and the surface roughness parameters (Sa, Sp, Ssk, Sdr, Spk, Sk, and Svk) and surface area were measured with Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy before and after installation. Bone beds were inspected with Digital Microscopy and micro X-Ray Fluorescence (μ-XRF) to analyze the metallic element distribution along the bone bed. RESULTS Acqua™ implants had higher initial Sa and a pronounced reduction of Sa and Sp during insertion, compared to NeoPoros® implants. After insertion, Sa and Sp of Acqua™ and NeoPoros® implants equalized, differing only between designs of Acqua™ implants. Surface damage was observed after insertion, mainly in the apical region. Facility implants that are made of TiG5 released fewer debris particles, while the highest Ti intensity was detected in the cervical region of the Titamax Ex Acqua™ and Drive Acqua™ implants. SIGNIFICANCE Physicochemical modifications to achieve surface hydrophilicity created a rougher surface that was more susceptible to surface alterations, resulting in more Ti particle release into the bone bed during surgical insertion. The higher Ti intensities detected in the cervical region of bone beds may be related to peri-implantitis and marginal bone resorption.

Abstract
This in vitro study aimed to investigate the influence of bone density, implant size, and surgical procedure on the primary stability (PS) of orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs). In total, 640 OMIs of various sizes (2.0 × 7, 2.3 × 7, 2.0 × 11 and 2.3 × 11 mm) were inserted in the artificial bone of different densities (D1-D4). Placement was performed with an insertion angle of 90° or 60° to the bone surface and in 320 cases without predrilling, which resulted in 64 groups. PS was measured on the basis of implant stability quotient (ISQ) and insertion torque (IT). With regard to all possible influencing parameters, the mean PS differed between 39.20 and 60.00 (ISQ), and 10.00 and 39.00 Ncm (IT). The effect of OMI size and surgical procedure was dependent on bone quality. For example, implant size had less effect in high-density bone and was stronger with decreasing density. Overall, implant length had a greater influence than the diameter, and a high correlation was found among both PS measurement techniques. Therefore, a suitable choice of implant size and surgical protocol with regard to bone density can positively influence PS. In principle, ISQ and IT are suitable for measuring OMI stability.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of bone quality, drilling technique, implant diameter, and implant length on insertion torque (IT) and resonance frequency analysis (RFA) of a prototype-tapered implant with knife-edge threads. The investigators hypothesized that IT would be affected by variations in bone quality and drilling protocol, whereas RFA would be less influenced by such variables. The investigators implemented an in vitro experiment in which a prototype implant was inserted with different testing conditions into rigid polyurethane foam blocks. The independent variables were: bone quality, drilling protocol, implant diameter, and implant length. Group A implants were inserted with a conventional drilling protocol, whereas Group B implants were inserted with an undersized drilling protocol. Values of IT and RFA were measured at implant installation. IT and RFA values were significantly correlated (Pearson correlation coefficient: 0.54). A multivariable analysis showed a strong model. Higher IT values were associated with drilling protocol B vs A (mean difference: 71.7 Ncm), implant length (3.6 Ncm increase per mm in length), and substrate density (0.199 Ncm increase per mg/cm3 in density). Higher RFA values were associated with drilling protocol B vs A (mean difference: 3.9), implant length (1.0 increase per mm in length), and substrate density (0.032 increase per mg/cm3 in density). Implant diameter was not associated with RFA or IT. Within the limitations of an in vitro study, the results of this study suggest that the studied implant can achieve good level of primary stability in terms of IT and RFA. A strong correlation was found between values of IT and RFA. Both parameters are influenced by the drilling protocol, implant length, and substrate density. Further studies are required to investigate the clinical response in primary stability and marginal bone response.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different implant sites an under-preparation sequence associated with two different implant designs on implant primary stability measured by two parameters: insertion torque (IT) and implant stability quotient (ISQ). It used two different implants: one cylindrical as a control and another one with a tapered design. The implants were inserted in type III fresh humid bovine bone and four drilling sequences were used: one control, the one proposed by the implant company (P1), and three different undersized (P2, P3 and P4). P2 was the same as P1 without the cortical drill, P3 was without the last pilot drill and P4 was without both of them. The sample size was n = 40 for each of the eight groups. Final IT was measured with a torquemeter and the ISQ was measured with Penguin resonance frequency analysis. Results showed that both ISQ and IT have a tendency to increase as the preparation technique reduces the implant site diameter when compared with the standard preparation, P1. The preparations without cortical drill, P2 and P4, showed the best results when compared with the ones with a cortical drill. Tapered implants always showed higher or the same ISQ and IT values when compared with the cylindrical implants. Giving the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that reducing implant preparation can increase IT and ISQ values. Removing the cortical drill and the use of a tapered design implant are also effective methods of increasing primary implant stability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the effect of two self-tapping implants on implant stability in immediate implantation. METHODS Two types of self-tapping implants, straight flute (STF) and spiral flute (SPF) designs, were studied. Two synthetic bone blocks with varying densities (0.32 g/cm3 and 0.16 g/cm3) were chosen to simulate the bone quality of the anterior maxilla. Insertion torque values were measured by a torque testing machine during implant insertion. Four biomechanical tests were performed: resonance frequency analysis was conducted using the Osstell device, and the strengths of screw push-in, lateral bending, and pull-out were evaluated using an MTS machine. The strength for each design feature was obtained by averaging the results of 10 trials. In total, 40 specimens were tested for each bone density. Statistical difference was determined by one-way analysis of variance followed by Bonferroni post hoc multiple tests between groups. FINDINGS The STF and SPF groups exhibited similar insertion torque values (p = 0.525 in low-density bone, and p = 0.99 in high-density bone). A significant difference (p < 0.001) was observed in the push-in test between the two groups when low-density bone was tested. The SPF group exhibited a significantly higher lateral bending force (p = 0.001) and a higher stiffness (p < 0.001) than the STF group in high-density bone. The SPF design attained higher (p < 0.001) ISQ numbers than the STF design, but all numbers were below 60. INTERPRETATION Implant stability can be influenced by the apical fixture design of self-tapping implants in immediate implantation.

Saudi Dent J 2020; 33:283-291. [PMID: 34194192 PMCID: PMC8236550 DOI: 10.1016/j.sdentj.2020.03.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2019] [Revised: 03/05/2020] [Accepted: 03/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the combined effect of the lateral-compression of host-bone (undersized-osteotomy-preparation) and axial-compression of host-bone (not drilling the full length of the implant) on the primary-implant-stability and the host-bone-architecture. Materials and Methods In this experimental-study, 44 dental implants (diameter-4.2 mm; length-10 mm; Dyna®) were installed in the femoral-condyles of four cadaver-goats using four different surgical approaches (11 implant/surgical approach; n = 11). Approach-1: Standard preparation according to the manufacturer's guidelines. The bone-cavity was prepared up to 10 mm in depth and 4 mm in diameter. Approach-2: Preparation up to 8 mm in depth and 4 mm in diameter. Approach-3: Preparation up to 10 mm in depth. Approach-4: The bone-cavity was prepared up to 8 mm in depth and 3.6 mm in diameter. Insertion torque (n = 11), removal torque (n = 7) and % bone-implant contact (n = 4) measurements were recorded. Bone architecture was assessed by micro-computer tomography and histological analysis (n = 4). Results For approaches 2, 3, and 4 (P < .05), insertion-torque values were significantly higher as compared to approach 1. Regarding the bone-implant-contact percentage (%BIC), approach 3 and 4 were significantly higher compared to approach 1 and 2 (P<.05). For approach 2, the %bone volume (%BV) was significantly higher as compared to approach 1 (P<.05) for the most the inner zone of host bone in proximity of the implant. Conclusion Lateral and axial compression improved the primary-implant-stability and therefore this new surgical-technique should be considered as an alternative approach especially for placing implants in low-density bone. Nevertheless, additional in vivo studies should be performed.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printed titanium and its alloys have broad application prospect in the field of biomedical implant materials, although the biological performance of the original surface should be improved. Learning from the development experience of conventional titanium implants, to construct a hierarchical hybrid topological surface is the future direction of efforts. Since the original 3D-printed (3D hereafter) Ti6Al4V surface inherently has micron-scale features, in the present study, we introduced submicron-scale pits on the original surface by acid etching to obtain a hierarchical micro/submicro-textured surface. The characteristic and biological performance of the 3D-printed and acid-etched (3DA hereafter) surface were evaluated in vitro and in vivo, compared with the conventional sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched (SLA hereafter) surface. Our results suggested the adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs), as well as the in vivo osseointegration on 3DA surfaces were significantly improved. However, the overall osteogenic performance of the 3DA surface was not as good as the conventional SLA surface.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the implant design and the presence of cortical bone in the primary stability, as well as analyze the differences between the stability measurements obtained by two different resonance frequency analysis (RFA) devices.
Material and Methods A total of 80 Klockner implants of two different models [40 Essential Cone implants (group A) and 40 Vega implants (group B)] were used. The implants were placed in two polyurethane blocks that simulated the mechanical properties of the maxillary bone. One block featured a layer of cortical bone that was absent from the other block. The primary stability of all implants was measured by insertion torque and RFA using two different devices: Penguin RFA and Osstell IDX.
Results Primary stability was superior in the cortical bone in both torque and RFA. In the block containing cortical bone, group A implants obtained a greater insertion torque than did group B. The insertion torque was lesser in the bone lacking cortex. Regarding the ISQ of the implants, group A presented higher values in the block with cortical bone, but the values were lower in the block without cortical bone. There were no significant differences between the values obtained from the Osstell IDX and Penguin RFA.
Conclusions The presence of cortical bone positively influences the primary stability of dental implants. The design of the implant also has a statistically significant influence on implant primary stability, although the impact depends on whether there is coronal cerclage or not. There were no statistically significant differences in the implant stability measurements obtained by two different devices. Key words:Implant stability, resonance frequency analysis, torque, osstell, penguin, cortical.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of three different surgical drilling protocols on changes of implant stability parameters and osseointegration performance during the healing period in rabbit femoral condyles. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty New Zealand white rabbits were used in this study. Three experimental groups according to different surgical drilling protocols (undersized, standard and oversized preparation) were designed. Measurements of implant stability parameters were performed immediately after implant insertion and then at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks after the operation. After the animals were sacrificed, the bone blocks with implant were prepared for histological evaluation and histomorphometric analysis. RESULTS The results demonstrated that the ISQ values of each group increased gradually through the whole healing period, while the damping factor showed the opposite tendency. The histomorphometric analysis revealed that BIC (bone-implant contact) values gradually increased with time until 8 weeks of healing at each group. In addition, the undersized group has the highest initial BIC (25.16% ± 7.25%) and the lowest values were found in oversized group (9.13% ± 5.89%). Moreover, a higher correlation (R2 = 0. 9817) between ISQ and BIC values in oversized group and moderate correlations between DF and BIC values in undersized group (R2 = 0.823) were demonstrated. CONCLUSIONS The undersized drilling protocol group presented the highest implant stability and BIC values in the whole healing period, while the similar tendency of results was found between standard and oversized drilling protocol groups. CLINICAL RELEVANCE These results suggested that undersized drilling protocol is mechanically and biologically beneficial in low-density bone. The modifications of surgical drilling protocols would influence the predictive value of implant stability parameters for osseointegration performance.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate and assess primary and secondary dental implant stability during the osseointegration period. METHODS A total of 77 implants were placed in 42 patients with 26 males and 16 females. The study was conducted by comparing the resonance frequency analysis (RFA) values of the implants inserted in the lower jaw. RFA was done immediately after implant insertion and after 12 weeks. Results were statistically evaluated using SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 7.1. Level of significance was set at P < 0.05. RESULTS Significant differences were detected between the primary and secondary stability values, respectively. Maximum RFA value of 88 and the minimum value of 52 were observed. Stability values increased during the following three months, and all implants were successfully integrated without complication. CONCLUSION Our results indicate and suggest that there is a strong linear correlation between implant stability and ISQ values that can be directly estimated by the RFA, especially in the posterior edentulous mandible. Osstell implant device could represent a useful tool which can be used to identify the risk for implant failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acrylic resin is employed for drilling bone biomodels. Since drilling causes temperature rise, the mechanical properties of thermoplastic acrylic resin can be altered, consequently affecting drilling properties. However, it is currently unclear how this temperature increase impacts drilling. OBJECTIVE This study reports the effects of temperature rise on both mechanical and drilling properties through experiments in which acrylic resin is drilled under machining conditions employed in surgical operations. METHODS Drilling tests were performed using a surgical drill on medical acrylic resin under dry conditions to observe generated cutting chips and measure drilling properties such as torque, drilling time, and temperature rise. Dynamic mechanical analysis measurements were performed to consider temperature effects. RESULTS According to the morphological classification of the cutting chips, the drilling process is divided into three phases corresponding with the generation of cylindrical helix, waved, and rounded nubby chips respectively. During drilling, the temperature of the chips can exceed the glass transition temperature (100∘C) resulting in decreased viscoelasticity, which is associated with decreased torque. CONCLUSIONS While drilling acrylic resin under surgical machining conditions, increasing temperature can decrease torque and morphologically change cutting chips due to the decrease in mechanical properties above the glass transition temperature.

Abstract
The primary objective of the present in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of implant site preparation technique (drills vs ultrasonic instrumentation) on the primary stability of short dental implants with two different designs inserted in simulated low-quality cancellous bone. Eighty implant sites were prepared in custom-made solid rigid polyurethane blocks with two different low cancellous bone densities (5 or 15 pounds per cubic foot [PCF]), equally distributed between piezoelectric (Surgysonic Moto, Esacrom, Italy) and conventional drilling techniques. Two short implant systems (Prama and Syra, Sweden & Martina) were tested by inserting 40 fixtures of each system (both 6.0 mm length and 5.0 mm diameter), divided in the four subgroups (drills/5 PCF density; drills/15 PCF density; piezo/5 PCF density; piezo/15 PCF density). Insertion torque (Ncm), implant stability quotient values, removal torque (Ncm), and surgical time were recorded. Data were analyzed by 3-way ANOVA and Scheffé's test (α = 0.05). With slight variations among the considered dependent variables, overall high primary implant stability was observed across all subgroups. Piezoelectric instrumentation allowed for comparable or slightly superior primary stability in comparison with the drilling procedures in both implant systems. The Prama implants group showed the highest mean reverse torque and Syra implants the highest implant stability quotient values. Piezoelectric implant site preparation took prolonged operative time compared to conventional preparation with drills; among the drilling procedures, Syra system required fewer surgical steps and shorter operative time.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to measure and compare the insertion torque, removal torque, and the implant stability quotient by resonance frequency analysis in different polyurethane block densities of two implant macrogeometries. Four different polyurethane synthetic bone blocks were used with three cortical thickness: Bone 1 with a cortical thickness of 1 mm, Bone 2 with a cortical thickness of 2 mm, Bone 3 with a cortical thickness of 3 mm, and Bone 4, which was totally cortical. Four groups were created in accordance with the implant macrogeometry (n = 10 per group) and surface treatment: G1—regular implant design without surface treatment; G2—regular implant design with surface treatment; G3—new implant design without surface treatment; G4—new implant design with surface treatment. All implants used were 4 mm in diameter and 10 mm in length and manufactured in commercially pure titanium (grade IV) by Implacil De Bortoli (São Paulo, Brazil). The implants were installed using a computed torque machine, and following installation of the implant, the stability quotient (implant stability quotient, ISQ) values were measured in two directions using Osstell devices. The data were analyzed by considering the 5% level of significance. All implant groups showed similar mean ISQ values without statistical differences (p > 0.05), for the same synthetic bone block: for Bone 1, the value was 57.7 ± 3.0; for Bone 2, it was 58.6 ± 2.2; for Bone 3, it was 60.6 ± 2.3; and for Bone 4, it was 68.5 ± 2.8. However, the insertion torque showed similar higher values for the regular macrogeometry (G1 and G2 groups) in comparison with the new implant macrogeometry (G3 and G4 groups). The analysis of the results found that primary stability does not simply depend on the insertion torque but also on the bone quality. In comparison with the regular implant macrogeometry, the new implant macrogeometry decreased the insertion torque without affecting the implant stability quotient values.

Abstract
Background: Macro- and micro-geometry are among the factors influencing implant stability and potentially determining loading protocol. The purpose of this study was to test a protocol for early loading by controlling implant stability with the selection of fixtures with different thread depth according to the bone density of the implant site. Materials and Methods: Patients needing implant therapy for fixed prosthetic rehabilitation were treated by inserting fixtures with four different thread diameters, selected based on clinical assessment of bone quality at placement (D1, D2, D3, and D4, according to Misch classification). Final insertion torque (IT) and implant stability quotient (ISQ) were recorded at baseline and ISQ measurements repeated after one, two, three, and four weeks. At the three-week measurement (four weeks after implant replacement), implants with ISQ > 70 Ncm were functionally loaded with provisional restorations. Marginal bone level was radiographically measured 12 months after implant insertion. Results: Fourteen patients were treated with the insertion of forty implants: Among them, 39 implants showing ISQ > 70 after 3 weeks of healing were loaded with provisional restoration. Mean IT value was 82.3 ± 33.2 Ncm and varied between the four different types of bone (107.2 ± 35.6 Ncm, 74.7 ± 14.0 Ncm, 76.5 ± 31.1 Ncm, and 55.2 ± 22.6 Ncm in D1, D2, D3, and D4 bone, respectively). Results showed significant differences except between D2 and D3 bone types. Mean ISQ at baseline was 79.3 ± 4.3 and values in D1, D2, D3, and D4 bone were 81.9 ± 2.0, 81.1 ± 1.0, 78.3 ± 3.7, and 73.2 ± 4.9, respectively. Results showed significant differences except between D1 and D2 bone types. IT and ISQ showed a significant positive correlation when analyzing the entire sample (p = 0.0002) and D4 bone type (p = 0.0008). The correlation between IT and ISQ was not significant when considering D1, D2, and D3 types (p = 0.28; p = 0.31; p = 0.16, respectively). ISQ values showed a slight drop at three weeks for D1, D2, and D3 bone while remaining almost unchanged in D4 bone. At 12-month follow-up, all implants (39 early loading, 1 conventional loading) had satisfactory function, showing an average marginal bone loss of 0.12 ± 0.12 mm, when compared to baseline levels. Conclusion: Matching implant macro-geometry to bone density can lead to adequate implant stability both in hard and soft bone. High primary stability and limited implant stability loss during the first month of healing could allow the application of early loading protocols with predictable clinical outcomes.

Abstract
The osseointegration and survival of dental implants are linked to primary stability. Good primary stability relies on the mechanical friction between implant surface and surrounding bone with absence of mobility in the osteotomy site immediately after implant placement. Several factors have been found to affect implant primary stability, including bone density, implant design, and surgical technique. Various methods have been used to assess implant primary stability including insertion torque and resonance frequency analysis. This article aims to evaluate the success of osseointegration in the absence of primary stability and to propose recommendations to manage implants that lack primary stability.

Effect of Surgical Installation of Dental Implants on Surface Topography and Its Influence on Osteoblast Proliferation. Int J Dent 2018; 2018:4089274. [PMID: 30416524 PMCID: PMC6207882 DOI: 10.1155/2018/4089274] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2018] [Revised: 08/26/2018] [Accepted: 09/27/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Surface treatment alone does not determine the final microtopography of a dental implant, which can be influenced by implant design and the surgical procedure. This study investigated the effect of surgical placement of dental implants with same surface treatments on surface roughness. Three implants (SIN) of each group with different macrogeometries (Strong, Stylus, and Tryon) were analyzed using laser interferometry and scanning electron microscopy to evaluate surface topography. All threaded regions of the implants, namely, top, flank, and valley, were analyzed individually. Relevant surface parameters (Sa, Ssk, Sku, Str, and Sdq) were calculated for the different regions on each implant before (B) (n = 9) and after (A) (n = 9) placement into porcine rib bones. The behavior and proliferation of a preosteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1 on titanium surface, cell viability, and osteopontin secretion were evaluated after 24 h, 48 h, and 96 h, also before (n = 18) and after (n = 18) implant placement into porcine ribs bone. As results, the valleys of all implants had an increase in Sa values after implant placement. By contrast, the tops of the Stylus A implant and the flanks of the Tryon A implant showed a significant decrease in mean height of the irregularities (Sa), 0.16 µm and 1.25 µm, respectively. The Stylus implant presented significantly (p < 0.05) higher asymmetry values on the distribution curve for irregularity heights (Sku) in all regions after insertion into bone (6.99 for tops, 9.54 for flanks, and 17.64 for valleys), indicating a greater preponderance of peaks over valleys. An increase in roughness gradients (Sdq) was observed for all macrogeometries after insertion into bone. The cell culture results showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) for all macrogeometries after bone placement. In conclusion, a subtle change in implant surface roughness was detected after insertion into bone for all the macrogeometries, without significantly affecting the cellular parameters studied.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the role of osteogenic coatings (placement of a thin film of organic and inorganic osteoinductive and osteoproliferative materials) on implant surfaces in augmenting bone-to-implant contact (BIC) in osteoporotic bone. DATA SOURCES To answer the focused question "Do osteogenic coatings on implant surfaces increase BIC in osteoporotic bone?" PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, ISI Web of Knowledge, Scopus, and Google-Scholar databases were searched till June 2017 using different combinations of the following key words: bone-to-implant contact, coating, implant surface, osseointegration, and osteoporosis. Letters to the Editor, review articles, case-reports/case-series, and commentaries were excluded. RESULTS Six animal studies were included, in which osteoporosis was induced by bilateral ovariectomy. In all studies, implant surface roughness was increased by various osteogenic surface coatings including alumina, hydroxyapatite, calcium phosphate, and zoledronic acid. Five studies showed that bone volume and BIC are significantly higher around implants with coated surfaces than noncoated implants. In 1 study, there was no difference in BIC around coated and noncoated implants. CONCLUSION Although experimental studies have shown that osteogenic coatings are effective in enhancing BIC, their clinical relevance requires further investigations.

The effect of undersizing and tapping on bone to implant contact and implant primary stability: A histomorphometric study on bovine ribs. J Adv Prosthodont 2018; 10:227-235. [PMID: 29930793 PMCID: PMC6004356 DOI: 10.4047/jap.2018.10.3.227] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2017] [Revised: 03/20/2018] [Accepted: 03/26/2018] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Implant site preparation may be adjusted to achieve the maximum possible primary stability. The aim of this investigation was to study the relation among bone-to-implant contact at insertion, bone density, and implant primary stability intra-operatively measured by a torque-measuring implant motor, when implant sites were undersized or tapped. MATERIALS AND METHODS Undersized (n=14), standard (n=13), and tapped (n=13) implant sites were prepared on 9 segments of bovine ribs. After measuring bone density using the implant motor, 40 implants were placed, and their primary stability assessed by measuring the integral of the torque-depth insertion curve. Bovine ribs were then processed histologically, the bone-to-implant contact measured and statistically correlated to bone density and the integral. RESULTS Bone-to-implant contact and the integral of the torque-depth curve were significantly greater for undersized sites than tapped sites. Moreover, a correlation between bone to implant contact, the integral and bone density was found under all preparation conditions. The slope of the bone-to-implant/density and integral/density lines was significantly greater for undersized sites, while those corresponding to standard prepared and tapped sites did not differ significantly. CONCLUSION The integral of the torque-depth curve provided reliable information about bone-to-implant contact and primary implant stability even in tapped or undersized sites. The linear relations found among the parameters suggests a connection between extent and modality of undersizing and the corresponding increase of the integral and, consequently, of primary stability. These results might help the physician determine the extent of undersizing needed to achieve the proper implant primary stability, according to the planned loading protocol.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess whether growth hormone (GH) replacement therapy can enhance implant osseointegration. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted from 1982 to March 2016. A structured search using the keywords "growth hormone," "implants," and "osseointegration" was performed to identify preclinical and clinical in vivo controlled studies and was followed by a 2-phase search strategy. Initially, 31 potentially relevant articles were identified. After removal of duplicates and screening by title and abstract, 10 potential studies were included. Studies were assessed for bias and data were synthesized using a random-effects meta-analysis model. RESULTS All studies were preclinical animal trials, and the follow-up period ranged from 2 to 16 weeks. Seventy percent of the included studies reported an increase in bone-to-implant contact in animals receiving GH compared with controls. Meta-analysis showed a significant mean difference for bone to implant between GH groups versus controls (no GH supplementation) of 10.60% (95% confidence interval: 3.79%-17.41%) favoring GH administration. CONCLUSION GH treatment seems to promote osseointegration around implants in preclinical studies; however, these findings must be assessed in highly controlled human clinical trials as a number of confounding factors may have influenced the outcomes of the included studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resonance frequency analyses and quantitative ultrasound methods have been suggested to assess dental implant primary stability. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the results obtained using these two techniques applied to the same dental implants inserted in various bone phantoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Different values of trabecular bone density and cortical thickness were considered to assess the effect of bone quality on the respective indicators (UI and ISQ). The effect of the implant insertion depth and of the final drill diameter was also investigated. RESULTS ISQ values increase and UI values decrease as a function of trabecular density, cortical thickness and the screwing of the implant. When the implant diameter varies, the UI values are significantly different for all final drill diameters (except for two), while the ISQ values are similar for all final drill diameters lower than 3.2 mm and higher than 3.3 mm. The error on the estimation of parameters with the QUS device is between 4 and 8 times lower compared to that made with the RFA technique. CONCLUSIONS The results show that ultrasound technique provides a better estimation of different parameters related to the implant stability compared to the RFA technique.

Abstract
Aim To evaluate the correlation between insertion torque (IT) and implant stability quotient (ISQ) in tapered implants with knife-edge threads. Methods Seventy-five identical implants (Anyridge, Megagen) were inserted by using a surgical drilling unit with torque control and an integrated resonance frequency analysis module (Implantmed, W&H). IT (N/cm) and ISQ were recorded and implants were divided into three groups (n = 25) according to the IT: low (<30), medium (30 < IT < 50), and high torque (>50). ISQ difference among groups was assessed by Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by Bonferroni-corrected Mann–Whitney U-test for pairwise comparisons. The strength of the association between IT and ISQ was assessed by Spearman Rho correlation coefficient (α = 0.05). Results At the pairwise comparisons, a significant difference of ISQ values was demonstrated only between low torque and high torque groups. The strength of the association between IT and ISQ value was significant for both the entire sample and the medium torque group, while it was not significant in low and high torque groups. Conclusions For the investigated implant, ISQ and IT showed a positive correlation up to values around 50 N/cm: higher torques subject the bone-implant system to unnecessary biological and mechanical stress without additional benefits in terms of implant stability. This trial is registered with NCT03222219.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the effect of conventional implant site preparation technique and a combination of conventional/piezosurgery preparation on implant stability measured at different time intervals, insertion torque, and preparation time. A randomized controlled study was designed, it included 26 patients who received 54 dental implants randomly assigned to 2 groups; in the control group, implants were installed after conventional preparation with drills whereas the study group received implants after mixed conventional/piezosurgery preparation. The outcome variables included: implant stability measured immediately after implant insertion, at 8 weeks and 16 weeks postoperatively, insertion torque and preparation time. All the investigated variables were analyzed statistically using 1 sample Kolmogrov-Simirenov test, Mann-Whitney U test, paired and unpaired Student t test, the Pearson χ test, Fisher exact test, and analysis of variance (1-way ANOVA). The differences were considered significant at P ≤ 0.05. Implant stability showed a similar pattern in both the groups which consists of a statistically significant decrease in implant stability quotient values at the 8th week followed by a statistically significant increase at the 16th week, where the implant stability quotient values return close to those of primary stability. The 2 groups revealed a statistically not significant difference in insertion torque and implant stability changes throughout the study period, whereas the preparation time was significantly longer in the study group than the control group. The mixed conventional/piezosurgery method of implant site preparation offers no additional advantage over the conventional drilling method in terms of values of insertion torque and patterns of implant stability change throughout the healing period.

Abstract
The dental implant drilling procedure is an essential step for implant surgery, and frictional heat in bone during drilling is a key factor affecting the success of an implant. The aim of this study was to increase the dental implant drill lifetime and performance by using heat- and wear-resistant protective coatings to decrease the alveolar bone temperature caused by the dental implant drilling procedure. Commercially obtained stainless steel drills were coated with titanium aluminum nitride, diamond-like carbon, titanium boron nitride, and boron nitride coatings via magnetron-sputter deposition. Drilling was performed on bovine femoral cortical bone under the conditions mimicking clinical practice. Tests were performed under water-assisted cooling and under the conditions when no cooling was applied. Coated drill performances and durabilities were compared with those of three commonly used commercial drills with surfaces made from zirconia, black diamond. and stainless steel. Protective coatings with boron nitride, titanium boron nitride, and diamond-like carbon have significantly improved drill performance and durability. In particular, boron nitride-coated drills have performed within safe bone temperature limits for 50 drillings even when no cooling is applied. Titanium aluminium nitride coated drills did not show any improvement over commercially obtained stainless steel drills. Surface modification using heat- and wear-resistant coatings is an easy and highly effective way to improve implant drill performance and durability, which can improve the surgical procedure and the postsurgical healing period. The noteworthy success of different types of coatings is novel and likely to be applicable to various other medical systems.

Abstract
Nowadays, dental implants have become more common treatment for replacing missing teeth and aim to improve chewing efficiency, physical health, and esthetics. The favorable clinical performance of dental implants has been attributed to their firm osseointegration, as introduced by Brånemark in 1965. Although the survival rate of dental implants over a 10-year observation has been reported to be higher than 90% in totally edentulous jaws, the clinical outcome of implant treatment is challenged in compromised (bone) conditions, as are frequently present in elderly people. The biomechanical characteristics of bone in aged patients do not offer proper stability to implants, being similar to type-IV bone (Lekholm & Zarb classification), in which a decreased clinical fixation of implants has been clearly demonstrated. However, the search for improved osseointegration has continued forward for the new evolution of modern dental implants. This represents a continuum of developments spanning more than 20 years of research on implant related-factors including surgical techniques, implant design, and surface properties. The methods to enhance osseointegration of dental implants in low quality (type-IV) bone are described in a general manner in this review.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of implant tilting and the loading direction on the displacement and micromotion (relative displacement between the implant and bone) of immediately loaded implants by in vitro experiments and finite element analysis (FEA). Methods Six artificial bone blocks were prepared. Six screw-type implants with a length of 10 mm and diameter of 4.3 mm were placed, with 3 positioned axially and 3 tilted. The tilted implants were 30° distally inclined to the axial implants. Vertical and mesiodistal oblique (45° angle) loads of 200 N were applied to the top of the abutment, and the abutment displacement was recorded. Nonlinear finite element models simulating the in vitro experiment were constructed, and the abutment displacement and micromotion were calculated. The data on the abutment displacement from in vitro experiments and FEA were compared, and the validity of the finite element model was evaluated. Results The abutment displacement was greater under oblique loading than under axial loading and greater for the tilted implants than for the axial implants. The in vitro and FEA results showed satisfactory consistency. The maximum micromotion was 2.8- to 4.1-fold higher under oblique loading than under vertical loading. The maximum micromotion values in the axial and tilted implants were very close under vertical loading. However, in the tilted implant model, the maximum micromotion was 38.7% less than in the axial implant model under oblique loading. The relationship between abutment displacement and micromotion varied according to the loading direction (vertical or oblique) as well as the implant insertion angle (axial or tilted). Conclusions Tilted implants may have a lower maximum extent of micromotion than axial implants under mesiodistal oblique loading. The maximum micromotion values were strongly influenced by the loading direction. The maximum micromotion values did not reflect the abutment displacement values.

A stepwise under-prepared osteotomy technique improves primary stability in shallow-placed implants: a preliminary study for simultaneous vertical ridge augmentation. Odontology 2017; 106:187-193.

Abstract
Simultaneous vertical ridge augmentation (VRA) can reduce treatment procedures and surgery time, but the concomitant reduction in primary stability (PS) of a shallow-placed implant imparts risk to its prognosis. Although several studies have reported improvements in PS, there is little information from any simultaneous VRA model. This study aimed to evaluate whether tapered implants with stepwise under-prepared osteotomy could improve the PS of shallow-placed implants in an in vitro model of simultaneous VRA. Tapered implants (Straumann® Bone Level Tapered implant; BLT) and hybrid implants (Straumann® Bone Level implant; BL) were investigated in this study. A total of 80 osteotomies of different depths (4, 6, 8, 10 mm) were created in rigid polyurethane foam blocks, and each BLT and BL was inserted by either standard (BLT-S, BL-S) or a stepwise under-prepared (BLT-U, BL-U) osteotomy protocol. The PS was evaluated by measuring maximum insertion torque (IT), implant stability quotient (ISQ), and removal torque (RT). The significance level was set at P < 0.05. There were no significant differences in IT, ISQ or RT when comparing BLT-S and BL-S or BLT-U and BL-U at placement depths of 6 and 8 mm. When comparison was made between osteotomy protocols, IT was significantly greater in BLT-U than in BLT-S at all placement depths. A stepwise under-prepared osteotomy protocol improves initial stability of a tapered implant even in a shallow-placed implant model. BLT-U could be a useful protocol for simultaneous VRA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of different surgical techniques on primary stability, particularly in poor-quality bone with or without a crestal cortical bone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three implant site preparation techniques-undersized drilling (UD), undersized drilling and coronal widening with a cortical drill (UD + CD), undersized drilling and coronal tapping with a cortical tap (UD + CT)-were compared in 2 different low-density polyurethane bone models either with or without the crestal cortical bone. Insertion torque values (ITVs) for each technique was recorded. RESULTS Statistically significant difference was observed for all 3 surgical techniques. In the presence of a crestal cortical bone, the peak ITV for UD was the highest, UD + CT the second, and UD + CD the lowest. All peak ITVs remained significantly lower in the absence of a crestal cortical bone. CONCLUSION Our findings suggested that UD + CTmay be the most effective implant surgical technique to achieve an ideal primary stability in low-density bone with a thin crestal cortical bone layer. Also, this technique may prevent compression necrosis of the dense cortical bone.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the primary stability (PS) of titanium implants with a progressive thread design and more thread stability in the apical threads placed in artificial bone materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 120 implants were placed in commercially available polyurethane composite bone blocks. The angulations that were chosen to place the implants in bone types II and IV were 0, 10, and 20 degrees, respectively. The implant dimensions were 11 mm in length and 3.5 mm in diameter. Two clinicians placed all implants, and an independent examiner evaluated the PS using the Osstell (ISQ) and Periotest devices. The χ test was used to evaluate the statistical differences between the PS at different angulations. RESULTS This study showed that there was a statistically significant difference (P = 0.02) of the PS values, when measured using the Periotest values, among all 3 angulations in both bone qualities. Tilted implants with 10 degrees, angulation had a better stability than conventionally placed implants. CONCLUSIONS The PS of dental implants is higher for implants placed in type II when compared with type IV artificial bone. A higher stability was found for implants placed with 10-degree angulations.
