The influence of truncated-conical implant length on primary stability in maxillary and mandibular regions: an in vitro study using polyurethane blocks

ConclusionsThese results demonstrated that the implant ’s length mainly influences the IT and RT values in the polyurethane blocks that mimic the mandibular region of the bone, resulting in higher values for the 3p S implants, while the RFA values remained unaffected. However, in the lowest density block simulating the maxillary bone, 3p L implants ex hibited significantly higher ISQ values.Clinical relevanceTherefore, our data offer valuable insights into the biomechanical behavior of these implants, which could be clinically beneficial for enhancing surgical planning.
