Abstract:

Background: Implant loading can be either immediate or delayed. The success of the implantation in either case depends on the sufficient primary and secondary stability. Aim: to measure the primary and the secondary stability of ITI implants using a Resonance Frequency (RF) device (Osstell) to detect changes in stability during early healing following implant placement and to determine whether the implant stability quotient /ISQ) could predict proper loading time. Methods: RF assessments were performed on 15 non-submerged titanium dental implants in 10 mandibles. Implant stability was measured at placement and weekly until week 6, and then at 8 weeks and 12 weeks. Results: At placement, the mean ISQ obtained with the magnetic device was 77.2 /95% confidence interval [CI], 67 to 85); it decreased to 75.6 /95% CI, 70 to 80) at 12 weeks. Changes indicated a pattern of decreased mean stability from 1 to 5 weeks post- placement, and significantly increased mean stability from 5 to 12 weeks. Conclusions: The results of the present study may be indicative of a period of time when loading might be disadvantageous following implant placement. It seems that either immediate or post-early implant placement loading are suitable in terms of sufficient stability. These suggestions need to be further assessed through future studies. Keywords: Dental Implants; Implant Stability Quotient; Primary Stability; Resonance Frequency Analysis; Secondary Stability.
