Prediction of Primary Dental Implant Stability Preoperatively Using CBCT of the Planned Implant Site.

This study aimed to assess whether preoperative characteristics of the implant site, such as bone density and alveolar ridge width, assessed using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), are significantly associated with primary stability, as assessed by resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and final insertion torque value (ITV), and thereby investigate if it is feasible to predict primary stability preoperatively using this form of radiologic examination of the planned implant site. All patients underwent preoperative CBCT. The bone density and alveolar ridge width were assessed. The primary implant stability quotient (ISQ) values were assessed by a wireless magnetic-based Osstell ISQ RF Analyzer.
