Mathematical equations for dental implant stability patterns during the osseointegration period, based on previous resonance frequency analysis studies

Abstract

Background Total stability of dental implant can be obtained from resonance frequency analysis (RFA) device, but without primary and secondary stability values. Purpose To formulate mathematical equations for dental implant stability patterns during the osseointegration period. Materials and Methods An online systematically search of the literature between January 1996 and December 2017 was performed for all prospective clinical trials that measured implant stability using RFA device during the osseointegration period. Initial mathematical function with adjustable parameters were created. Then curve‐fitting was performed using a computerized program to formulate mathematical equations stability patterns. Results Nine publications (24 study groups) were included in the mathematical analysis. Curve fitting with low sum of squared errors could be applied in all studies, except one. The stability has been divided into high, medium, and low stability. The curve fitting showed stability dip areas and intersection point which predict the returning of the stability to reach the primary stability. The study groups with low primary stability showed the poorest results, the high and medium stability group showed the stability pattern following the assumed primary stability pattern according to the mathematic equations. Conclusions The model of primary and secondary stability could be predicted from the proposed equations.

“…In recent years, implant denture has been a primary tactic to restore missing teeth as it causes little harm to natural teeth, allows a good recovery of mastication and, compared with other approaches, is more feasible and less uncomfortable. 1,2 However, this tactic requires tooth extraction, whereas certain bone diseases that affect bone metabolism, such as osteoporosis, can cause destruction of alveolar bones and thus affect the healing of alveolar fossae after tooth extraction. 3,4 While osteoporosis is a general adversarial factor for bone implant surgery, 5,6 postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) has been a main focus of medical research in recent years as it has become increasingly problematic due to the rising elderly population worldwide, which poses a major public health problem itself.…”

Implant stability changes over time following implant placement in elderly patients: A prospective study

“…Bone regeneration is unfavorably affected by aging owing to the increased inflammatory stage of healing, decreased number of stem cells, and reduced amount of growth factors (Bartold et al, 2016). Implant stability is a complex result determined by primary stability, which is the biomechanical stability formed by the mechanical adaptation between the fixture and alveolar bone (Romanos, 2009), and secondary stability, which is developed from bone regeneration around the fixture (Swami et al, 2016) Previous studies have demonstrated that implant stability changes over time; implant stability decreases after implant placement and recovers as secondary stability begins to increase, resulting in a drop in implant stability at 2-4 weeks following implant placement (Aparicio et al, 2006;Barewal et al, 2003;Charatchaiwanna et al, 2019;Gu et al, 2016;Lai et al, 2008;Suzuki et al, 2013). In this study, patients aged <60 years and 61-70 years showed a similar pattern of implant stability over time.…”
