“…Subsequently, Lekholm & ZARB (1985) proposed a classification aimed at quantifying the bone defects present in the alveolar ridge, as well as their quality. Regarding this last factor, the authors described four types of alveolar ridges, ranging from those that were totally corticalized to those where there was a predominance of medullary bone, as follows: Type A, virtually intact alveolar ridge; Type & MEREDITH, 1998;NEDIR et al, 2004;NOGUEROL et al, 2006;DILEK et al, 2008;CHO et al, 2009;SEONG et al, 2009;GEHRKE et al, 2019;DI STEFANO et al, 2019;ATIEH et al, 2021;ELIAS & SOARES 2021;GEHRKE et al, 2023). In relation to implants, primary stability depends on different macrogeometric characteristics, in the composition and treatment of their surface, and one or more of these characteristics increase the biological response of the tissue on the implant surface, leading to an increase in the success or survival rate (MEREDITH, 1998;SANTOS et al, 2013;PONZONI et al, 2018;DI STEFANO et al, 2021;ELIAS & SOARES, 2021;GEHRKE et al, 2023).…”
