Primary stability has a major impact on the long-term success of dental implants. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and insertion torque of self-tapping and non-self-tapping implants and their respective differences in primary stability.
A group of 263 patients were treated with 602 conically formed dental implants: 408 non-serf-tapping Ankylos[R] and 194 self-tapping Camlog[R]. The maximum insertion torque during implant placement was recorded. Resonance frequency, measured as the implant stability quotient (ISQ), was assessed once ...
