[Stress resistance of the bone in the Tübingen immediate implants]

The objective of this investigation is to study the behavior of enosseous implants, made of aluminium oxide ceramics (Tübingen-Type), under axial forces. Force and movement were measured simultaneously. The steady increasing forces were applicated with a miniature force transducer to the surface of the implant and the adjacent tooth, respectively. The resulting intrusions were recorded with noncontact inductive displacement transducers.
