The impact of a modified cutting flute implant design on osseointegration

Analyzing the Influence of a New Dental Implant Design on Primary Stability

“…The main characteristic of supported implants is the cutting function in the apical portion, this type of configuration guides the installation at the osteotomy site in such a way that the preparation may be slightly smaller than the actual diameter of the implant, while minimizing its micro movements . In the study, extending the grooves beyond the third apical provided greater cutting capacity and significant insertion torque increase in the modified Conical CM implants ( p = 0.000) as well as in the Cylindrical HE implants ( p = 0.043) when compared to the conventional ones.…”

Osseointegration: Hierarchical designing encompassing the macrometer, micrometer, and nanometer length scales

“…However, in reality, the stability of the implant would decrease beyond the yield strain of the bone due to excessive microcrack formation and compression necrosis, which both phenomena trigger bone remodeling [25,30,31]. Thus, high degrees of insertion torque must be questioned since elastic theory predicts that excessive strain not only leads to the decrease of biomechanical stability, but also incites negative biologic responses depending on the implant thread design that influence the compression [17]. Such cell-mediated bone resorption and subsequent bone apposition most often occurring from the pristine bone wall toward the implant surface is responsible for what has under theoretical [32] and experimental [33] basis been coined as implant stability dip, where primary stability obtained through the mismatch between implant macrogeometry and surgical instrumentation dimensions is lost due to the cell-mediated interfacial remodeling to be regained through bone apposition [32,34].…”

“…Atemporal osseointegration became an academic and industrial goal since it would allow clinicians to rehabilitate patients in minimal treatment time frames [17].…”

Measurement of temperature change during the implant site preparation to determine influence of tool characteristics

“…There are numerous works focused on implant osseointegration performance to prevent implant failures. The following reports investigated effective factors for osseointegration performance by various authors: implant surface modification [4][5][6][7][8], implant materials [9,10], implant geometry [11,13], dental drills [12,14] and surgical technique [15,16]. All of these factors influence loosening of dental implant-bone interface, consequently osseointegration performance.…”
