Effects of Drilling Protocol and Bone Density on the Stability of Implants According to Different Macrogeometries of the Implant Used: Results of an In Vitro Study.

CONCLUSION: The macrogeometry of the implant and the drilling sequence have a significant effect on both primary stability values (ISQ and insertion torque). The values for the Coral implant were statistically higher but still within the range required to achieve proper osseointegration. These results support the drilling sequence recommended by the manufacturer for this type of implant, using larger-diameter drills and screw taps in sites with harder or cortical bone.
