# The impact of alveolar bone density and width on primary implant stability: A prospective clinical study

## TL;DR

This study shows that alveolar bone density is a strong predictor of dental implant stability, with CBCT scans helping clinicians plan better treatments.

## Contribution

The study introduces a hybrid method combining CBCT and perfusion-based evaluation to assess implant stability.

## Key findings

- Bone density strongly correlates with implant stability (r=0.65 for ISQ, r=0.58 for ITV).
- Coronal ridge width moderately correlates with implant stability (r=0.47).
- CBCT is useful for preoperative planning to predict implant stability.

## Abstract

The assessment of implant stability was again a hybrid method involving combination of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) assessment
with perfusion-based evaluation of alveolar bone density and ridge width. This study was conducted on 42 patients who had a total of 80
implants that were put in boundary places of the bone to determine its density. There was high correlation on the correlation between
bone density and implant stability where r=0.65- Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ); r=0.58 - Insertion Torque Value (ITV) (p<0.001).
Coronal ridge width showed moderate correlation with the implant stability (r=0.47), but bone density was considered the strongest
indicator of the implant stability (p<0.01). These results indicate the usefulness of CBCT in planning prior to the operation, so
that it would enable clinicians to predict stability of the area implants and therefore enhance the treatment process by analyzing the
bone density as well as obtaining the succinct results.
