The Aim Of The Study:
Compare the primary stability indicators of implants from various implant systems.
Materials And Methods:
The study enrolled 27 patients; all participants underwent a surgical procedure involving tooth extraction accompanied by simultaneous one-stage dental implantation using Vitaplant VPKS, MegaGen AnyRidge, and Alpha Dent Superior Active implants. To assess primary stability during surgery (a torque test) was conducted. Additionally, the Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) value was measured utilizing a Penguin RFA apparatus.
Results And Discussion:
Comparing multiple implants reveals a clear pattern and consistency within the torque range of various implant systems. This observation directly indicates the efficacy of their design and surface structure. The obtained data revealed distinct trends in ISQ progression over the 90-day period in patients with one-stage implantation of Alpha Dent Superior Active implants. The dynamics ISQ values from implantation of MegaGen AnyRidge demonstrated slightly regressive trend up to 21 days, followed by a rise in values from day 21. The overall pattern Vitaplant VPKS group resembles that of the previous implant groups, yet with slightly more scattered data.
Conclusions:
The average indicators of primary implant stability (torque) across all implant systems fall within the range of 10 to 35 N/cm2. No signifi cant statistical differences were observed among them. Nonetheless, it should be noted that Alpha Dent Superior Active implants exhibited a slightly higher torque value. The dynamics ISQ of MegaGen and Vitaplant implants demonstrate strikingly similar behavior, while the Alpha Dent implant displays a markedly accelerated healing process.
