Relationship between Implant Geometry and Primary Stability in Different Bony Defects and Variant Bone Densities: An In Vitro Study

Aim: This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effects of implant designs on primary stability in different bone densities and bony defects. Methods: Five implant types (tapered-tissue-level, tissue-level, zirconia-tissue-level, bone-level, and BLX implants) were used in this assessment. The implant...

description Aim: This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effects of implant designs on primary stability in different bone densities and bony defects. Methods: Five implant types (tapered-tissue-level, tissue-level, zirconia-tissue-level, bone-level, and BLX implants) were used in this assessment. The implants were inserted into four different artificial bone blocks representing varying bone-density groups: D1, D2, D3, and D4. Aside from the control group, three different types of defects were prepared. Using resonance frequency analysis and torque-in and -out values, the primary stability of each implant was evaluated. Results: With an increased defect size, all implant types presented reduced implant stability values measured by the implant stability quotient (ISQ) values. Loss of stability was the most pronounced around circular defects. Zirconia and bone-level implants showed the highest ISQ values, whereas tissue level titanium implants presented the lowest stability parameters. The implant insertion without any thread cut led to a small improvement in primary implant stability in all bone densities. Conclusions: Compared with implants with no peri-implant defects, the three-wall and one-wall defect usually did not provide significant loss of primary stability. A significant loss of stability should be expected when inserting implants into circular defects. Implants with a more aggressive thread distance could increase primary stability.
