The ability to predict primary implant stability using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 12
Abstract
Introduction:Primary implant stability plays an important role in determining implant success. Several methods have been used to determine primary stability during implant placement. The ability to determine primary stability preoperatively would enable implant planning with higher predictability. Aim: This study was performed to evaluate the reliability of CBCT in predicting primary implant stability by preoperative bone density measurement, through its correlation with clinical parameters of implant stability including insertion torque (IT) and resonance frequency analysis (RFA). Materials And Methods: A total of 30 implants placed in 24 patients were evaluated. The bone density values of the implant sites were assessed preoperatively using CBCT. The maximum insertion torque and RFA expressed in implant stability quotient (ISQ )value, were recorded for each implant. Data were analyzed statistically. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was calculated to evaluate the correlations between preoperative density values, IT and RFA. Results: Statistically significant correlations were found between preoperative bone density and ISQ values (r= 0.891, p<0.001), bone density and IT (r= 0.848, p<0.001) and ISQ and IT (r= 0.831, p<0.001). Conclusion: CBCT could be used as a reliable diagnostic tool to predict primary implant stability prior to implant placement.
