Abstract

Background: Primary stabilityis not sufficientin less contact area between the implant and bone, the healing process because will be disrupted due to micro-motions and fibrous tissue affects osseointegration.

Material and methods: We implemented an in vitro experimental study of total 135 XiVE® implants were inserted in 22.5 bovine cow ribs with bone quality similar to a type IV human bone. Each rib end received a group of three different implant lengths, which were 8mm, 13mm and 15mm and had the same diameter 3.8mm. Immediately after the implant placement, its primary stability was measured using Osstell Mentor equipment. ANOVA Tukey's honest to test the significant difference were performed for data analysis between the resonance measures of the different lengths of implants. Statistical significance was assessed at a level P< 0.05.

Results: A total of 45 implants were inserted for each length at cortical bone level. A significant difference between the three groups in favor of implant with 15mm length group (P = 0.000).

Conclusions: Increasing dental implant length is considered to play a fundamental role in increasing dental implant primary stability, even in poor bone quality, through controlling the bone preparation process. Key words:Dental implants, primary stability, resonance frequency analysis.
