Factors Affecting Implant Stability Quotients At Immediately and Conventionally Loaded Implants In The Posterior Maxilla: A Split-Mouth Randomized Controlled Trial.

PURPOSE To assess primary and secondary stability of variable-thread tapered implants in the posterior maxilla and analyze the impact of various factors on implant stability quotients (ISQs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty six subjects received 3-4 adjacent implants in the maxillary premolar-molar sextants to replace bilateral tooth loss. The implants on one side were immediately loaded with a provisional fixed prosthesis regardless of their primary stability. The contralateral control implants were conventionally loaded. Bone quality was subjectively recorded and primary stability was assessed by means of insertion torque values (ITVs) and ISQs in 4 directions. Secondary stability was measured by ISQ at definitive prosthesis delivery (3 to 3.5 months postoperatively), and 12 months after definitive loading. The impact of measurement direction, loading protocol, time, site-related (bone quality, implant position, crestal buccal bone thickness, apical cortical anchorage), and implant-related (implant dimensions, abutment height) variables on ISQs was assessed. RESULTS For logistic reasons, ISQs were obtained for only 18 patients with 60 test and 60 control implants. Most of the implants (82%) at baseline had their lowest ISQ on the buccal aspect. There were no significant differences between ISQs measured in the buccal and palatal directions, or between ISQs in the mesial and distal directions. The mean of buccal and palatal ISQs was significantly lower than the mean of the 2 interproximal measurements at all evaluation periods. ISQs were not significantly different between the 2 loading groups at any time point. All implants showed a time-dependent increase in ISQs. Baseline ISQ correlated weakly with bone quality and ITV. None of the variables had a significant impact on baseline ISQs, except for implants in second molar sites which showed poorer primary stability than first premolars. CONCLUSION measurement direction and time are the most significant parameters affecting ISQs of variable-thread tapered implants in the posterior maxilla. This article is protected by copyright.
