The aim of this study was to examine the primary stabilization of different vertically impacted bone implants. Implant stability was measured by resonance frequency analysis. Forty-five dental implants were used and divided into three groups. Group 1 was placed 4 mm (1/3 impacted), Group 2 was placed 8 mm (2/3 impacted), and Group 3 was placed 12 mm (fully impacted). Implant stability quotient values were measured on the longitudinal and transversal axis by two independent researchers. The fully-impacted group showed the significantly highest value among the groups (p < 0.05). There were statistically varying implant-stability quotient values between researchers. None of the 1/3 impacted implants’ value reached a 70 implant-stability quotient value.

The purpose of this study was to assess implant stability in relation to implant design (conical vs. semiconical and wide-pitch vs narrow-pitch) using resonance frequency analysis. Twenty patients with bilateral edentulous maxillary premolar region were selected. In one hemiarch, conical implants with wide pitch (group 1) were installed; in the other hemiarch, semiconical implants with narrow pitch were installed (group 2). The implant allocation was randomized. The implant stability quotient (ISQ) was measured by resonance frequency analysis immediately following implant placement to assess primary stability (time 1) and at 90 days after placement (time 2). In group 1, the mean and standard deviation ISQ for time 1 was 65.8 ± 6.22 (95% confidence interval [CI], 55 to 80), and for time 2, it was 68.0 ± 5.52 (95% CI, 57 to 77). In group 2, the mean and standard deviation ISQ was 63.6 ± 5.95 (95% CI, 52 to 78) for time 1 and 67.0 ± 5.71 (95% CI, 58 to 78) for time 2. The statistical analysis demonstrated significant difference in the ISQ values between groups at time 1 (P = .007) and no statistical difference at time 2 (P = .54). The greater primary stability of conical implants with wide pitch compared with semiconical implants with narrow pitch might suggest a preference for the former in case of the adoption of immediate or early loading protocols.

The design of an implant has a great effect on primary stability. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in primary stability between straight and tapered Neoss ProActive implants in type I and type III bones using resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and electronic percussive testing (EPT) methods. Fresh cow vertebrae and pelvis were used as models of type III and type i bone, respectively. Implants of 2 different designs—straight and tapered Neoss ProActive implants with a thread cutting and forming (TCF) design, both 3.5-mm wide and 11-mm long—were placed in both types of bone (n = 60). The primary stability of all implants was measured by an experienced clinician blinded to the study protocol using the EPT and RFA devices. No statistically significant difference was found between the implant stability quotients and the percussive test values of straight and tapered implants in either bone type. Within the limitations of this ex vivo study, it may be concluded that the shape of an implant with a TCF design does not affect primary stability.

Implant stability is relevant for the correct osseointegration and long-term success of dental implant treatments. The aim of this study has been to evaluate the influence of implant dimensions and position on primary and secondary stability of implants placed in maxilla using resonance frequency analysis. Thirty-one healthy patients who underwent dental implant placement were enrolled for the study. A total of 70 OsseoSpeed TX (Astra Tech Implant System—Dentsply Implants; Mölndal, Sweden) implants were placed. All implants have been placed according to a conventional two-stage surgical procedure according to the manufacturer instructions. Bone quality and implant stability quotient were recorded. Mean implant stability quotient (ISQ) at baseline (ISQ1) was statistically significant lower compared to 3-months post-implant placement (ISQ2) (p < 0.05). Initial implant stability was significantly higher with 4 mm diameter implants with respect to 3.5 mm. No differences were observed within maxilla regions. Implant length, diameter and maxillary regions have an influence on primary stability.

Abstract The study was designed to determine the relationship between implant stability quotient (ISQ) values measured using resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and implant-bone distance measured histomorphometrically. Ten identical implants were equally divided into 2 groups based on primary stability at placement. Osteotomies were prepared in harvested goat femurs. ISQ values were measured and compared with implant-bone distance determined by micrometry. Based on the results, it was concluded that RFA can be used to measure implant stability reliably.

Introduction In the last decade, anchorage control with mini-implants has gained enormous credibility in maintaining orthodontic anchorage. Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) has proven to be an adequate method to measure the stability of these mini-implants because of its non-invasiveness and contactless measurement method. Materials and Method Tomas and S.K surgical mini-implants were tested. For this purpose custom fabricated attachment was fabricated to attach the smart peg on orthodontic mini-implant head, and 45 mini-implants were inserted in fresh swine pelvic bone in the density matched sites to that of most common sites where mini-implants are placed in human mandible. Mini-implants of two different lengths with diameter constant were also placed to assess the effect of length on primary stability. Results The mean ISQ of Group 1 (Tomas 10 mm) was 55.53±3.39 while that of Group 2 (S.K Surgical 10mm) was 56.63±3.48 and that of Group 3(S.K Surgical 8 mm) was 55.90±3.48. Difference among the groups were not statistically significant when ANOVA test was used (P >0.05). Conclusion The resonance frequency analysis is applicable to comparatively assess the primary stability of orthodontic mini-implants. There was no difference in primary stability of Tomas and S.K Surgical mini-implant and primary stability was not affected by the length of the mini-implant.

The establishment of stability of a dental implant is mandatory for successful osseointegration. Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) is the most frequently used method for the clinical measurement of implant stability. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the reliability of the recently developed RF analyzer named as Penguin RFA and to compare it with the traditional RF analyzer Osstell ISQ. Sixty implants were inserted into fresh vertebrae and pelvis belonging to a steer. Implant stability was measured using Penguin RFA by its transducers (multipegs) and Osstell ISQ by its transducers (smartpegs). Additionally, stability was measured by multipegs with Osstell ISQ and by smartpegs with Penguin RFA. The intra-observer and inter-observer reliability of Penguin RFA were estimated by the intra-class coefficient (ICC). Mean implant stability quotients (ISQs) measured with Osstell ISQ were higher than the ISQs measured with Penguin RFA (P&lt;.05). The intra- and inter-observer reliability of Penguin RFA were considered as excellent (ICC &gt; 0.7). For Osstell ISQ, no significance in ISQs was detected between the readings by smartpegs and multipegs (P &gt; .05) while for Penguin RFA ISQs by smartpegs were significantly higher than the ISQs by multipegs (P &lt;.05). Recently developed Penguin RFA, is reliable and can be used in the clinical practice for the measurement of dental implant stability in regardless of the bone type. The multipegs originally manufactured for the Penguin RFA is also compatible with Osstell ISQ.

Primary stability is an indicator of subsequent osseointegration of dental implants. However, few studies have compared the implant stability among anatomical regions and bone types; thus, not enough data exist regarding the stability of implants placed in regenerated bone (RB). The present study evaluated primary and long-term stability of implants placed in RB and non-regenerated healed bone (HB). A total of 216 screw cylinder implants were placed in 216 patients (98 in HB and 118 in RB, 6 [RB6, N = 68] or 12 [RB12, N = 50] months after tooth extraction). Implant stability was evaluated using resonance frequency analysis (RFA) measured at the time of implant placement (E1), at the time of loading (4 months after placement, E2), and 4 months after loading (E3). Various clinically relevant measurements were obtained, such as implant diameter, length, and location, as well as bone quality. At E1, implant location, bone quality, and experimental group significantly affected implant stability (all at P &lt; .05). At E2, implant location, diameter, length, and experimental group significantly affected implant stability (all at P &lt; .05). At E3, bone quality, implant diameter, length, and experimental group significantly affected implant stability (all at P &lt; .01). Stability for the RB12 group was significantly higher than all other corresponding values; further, the values did not change significantly over time. For the HB and RB6 groups, stability was significantly higher at E2 than at E1 (P &lt; .001) and was no different between E2 and E3. Implant location, length, and experimental group were associated with these differences (all at P &lt; .05). Compared with HB and RB6, higher implant stability may be achieved in regenerated bone 12 months post-extraction (RB12). This stability was achieved at E1 and maintained for at least 8 months. Variables such as implant length, diameter, and bone quality affected the stability differently over time. Implant stability varied in different anatomic regions and with regard to different healing processes in the bone.

The inability to reconstruct extensive and often life-threatening tracheal defects is a clinical dilemma. The objective of this study was to achieve microvascular revascularization and transplantation of long-segment circumferential tracheal allografts in a canine model. Fifteen mongrel dogs were randomly assigned to 5 treatment groups. Twelve dogs underwent an excision of an 8-cm tracheal segment followed by transplantation and microvascular revascularization of an 8-cm cervical trachea allograft. Group 1 (n = 4) was treated with 10 mg/kg per day of cyclosporin A (CsA) and 7.5 mg/kg per day of mycophenolate mofetil (MM). Group 2 (n = 4) was treated with 5 mg/kg per day of CsA and 7.5 mg/kg per day of MM. Group 3 (n = 4) was treated with 2.5 mg/kg per day of CsA and 7.5 mg/kg per day of MM. Group 4 (n = 2) underwent an autograft tracheal transplant and received postoperative 2.5 mg/kg per day of CsA and 7.5 mg/kg per day of MM. Group 5 (n = 1) did not undergo surgery, but received postoperative 2.5 mg/kg per day of CsA and 7.5 mg/kg per day of MM. The animals were maintained for a duration of 30 days, during which time the graft was assessed by routine endoscopic examination and tracheal biopsies. Ex vivo, tracheal autografts were examined grossly for graft healing and microscopically for histologic architecture. The mean survival times were 13.25 days (group 1), 16 days (group 2), and 20 days (group 3). There was 1 early allograft failure secondary to microvascular thrombosis, and there were 4 delayed failures secondary to postoperative wound infections. Five dogs were euthanized before the end of the 30-day observation period because of failure to thrive or hypocalcemic tetany. None of the dogs in the study demonstrated endoscopic or histologic evidence of rejection before euthanasia. Postmortem examination of the surviving dogs demonstrated normal histologic architecture without evidence of rejection. For the first time, we have achieved allotransplantation of long tracheal segments based on the cranial thyroid artery and internal jugular vein. Minimal systemic immunosuppression appears to be associated with a higher survival rate and a lower complication rate.

Objective. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of the interimplant distance on the implant primary stability (ISQ) by Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA). Method. Forty-five implants were placed in the mandible of human cadavers and 108 in artificial bone substrates in the form of polyurethane foam blocks. Primary implant stability was successively measured first by RFA immediately after the placement of the first implant (A) and then after two other implants (B and C) proximal and distal to the first implant. The interimplant distances were defined from 1 to 6 mm and the three primary stability values measured were compared. Results. On the mandibles, no correlation was observed between the interimplant distances and primary stability. On the polyurethane foam block, the primary stability of implant A increased significantly (p<0.001) after the placement of implant B but remained constant after placement of implant C. Conclusion. Reducing the interimplant distance does not affect the primary stability on dry bone or artificial substrate.
