How does dental implant macrogeometry affect primary implant stability? A narrative review

Abstract Purpose The macrogeometry of a dental implant plays a decisive role in its primary stability. A larger diameter, a conical shape, and a roughened surface increase the contact area of the implant with the surrounding bone and thus improve primary stability. This is considered the basis for s...
