Evaluating cortico-cancellous ratio using virtual implant planning and its relation with immediate and long-term stability of a dental implant- A CBCT-assisted prospective observational clinical study

Conclusions: Implant stability is improved with greater CCR. Cortical bone seems to be crucial factor for immediate and long-term stability of a dental implant. Virtual planning using CT can assess implant stability. Further histological studies are required to confirm the relation between CCR and implant stability. The escalating demand of the implant treatment in the dental practice necessitates measuring the several predictors of procedure success. This study introduces a novel predictor (CCR) around virtual implant for detecting the immediate and long-term stability of a dental implant.
