Abstract

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to ascertain the stability of the implant by comparing the effects of the change of implant diameter, length and design on implant stability quotient.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
To remove the variable due to the difference of bone quality, the uniform density (0.48 g/cm3) Polyuretane foam blocks (Sawbones(R), Pacific Research Laboratories Inc, Vashon, Washington) were used. Implants (Implantium(R), Dentium, Seoul, Korea) were placed with varying diameters (phi3.8, phi4.3 and phi4.8) and length (8 mm, 10 mm and 12 mm), to assess the effect on implant stability index (ISQ). Also the influence of the design of the submerged and the non-submerged (SimplelineII(R), Dentium, Seoul, Korea) on ISQ was evaluated. To exclude the influence of insertion torque, a total of 60 implants (n = 10) were placed with same torque to 35 N. Using Osstell(TM) mentor (Integration Diagnostic AB, Sweden) ISQ values were recorded after measuring the resonant frequency, one-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD test results were analyzed. (alpha=0.05).
RESULTS
1. The change of the diameter of the implant did not affect the ISQ (P>.05), but the increase of implant length increased the ISQ(P<.001). 2. The change in implant design were correlated with the ISQ, and the ISQ of submerged design was significantly higher than that of the non-submerged design(P<.05).
CONCLUSION
In order to increase implant stability, the longer implant is better to be selected, and on the same length of implant, submerged design is thought to be able to get a higher ISQ than the non-submerged.
