title: Optimal implant stabilization in low density bone.
abstract: Initial stability of the implant is one of the fundamental criteria for obtaining osseointegration. An adequate primary anchorage is often difficult to achieve in low density bone (type IV). Various surgical suggestions were advanced in the 1980s which were aimed at achieving optimal osseous integration in poor quality bone. They offered satisfactory short-term results. Recently, as a result of surgical and technological innovations, new therapeutic proposals have shown very interesting results in their initial studies.
