Osseodensification is a novel approach that has significantly advanced the field of implant
dentistry, particularly in the context of transcrestal maxillary sinus floor elevation. This …

Introduction The radiographic examination of alveolar bone using 3D radiographic
examination is essential in dental implant treatment planning. Our study aimed to …

According to classic Hirschfeld studies, the first teeth to be lost are the first and second
maxillary molars. After the teeth are extracted and the alveolar process is developed, the …

Objectives This study aimed to assess the relation between the insertion torque and implant
stability quotient (ISQ recorded immediately and 6 months after implant placement) …

Background Primary stability is an important key determinant of implant osseointegration.
We investigated approaches to improve primary implant stability using a new drilling …

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 …

Post-extractional implants and immediate loading protocols are becoming much more
frequent in everyday clinical practice. Given the existing literature about tapered implants …

Purpose: To evaluate the reliability of the Osstell implant stability quotient (ISQ) and Penguin
resonance frequency analysis (RFA) devices in measuring implant stability. Materials and …

Background There is disagreement about the optimal torque for tightening smartpegs for
resonance frequency analysis (RFA). Subjective finger pressure during hand tightening …

Objective Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) provides an evaluation of implant stability
over time. This analysis is a non-invasive, precise, and objective method. Several studies …
