[Primary implant stability with different bone surgery techniques. An in vitro study of the mandible of the minipig].
The treatment concept of osseointegration is based on a stable embodiment of implants in bone and the maintenance of stability during functional load. A goal of the surgical preparation technique is therefore to obtain a stable and firm implant anchorage. The aim of this study was to evaluate implant stability after different surgical treatment of the bony implantation bed. Thirty cylindrical solid-screw-shaped implants with standard SLA ITI configuration were implanted into the explanted mandibles of five minipigs. The implant sites were prepared either by a conventional burr technique (group A), by burr technique with additional thread cutting (group B), or by the osteotome technique (group C). Primary implant stability was evaluated by resonance frequency analysis and removal torque test. The average value of the resonance frequency analysis (RFA) was 6000+/-469 cycles/s in group A, 5700+/-557 cycles/s in group B, and 5540+/-527 cycles/s in group C. Removal torque values of group A (507+/-57 Nmm) were significantly higher than those of group B (466+/-45 Nmm) and group C (240+/-31 Nmm) (between group A and C p<0.05, group A to B p=0.39, and B to C p<0.05). It can be concluded from this study that the conventional burr technique achieves a statistically significantly better primary bone anchorage than the osteotome technique.
