Insertion energy has been advocated as a novel measure for primary implant stability, but the effect of implant length, diameter, or surgical protocol remains unclear. Twenty implants from one specific bone level implant system were placed in layered polyurethane foam measuring maximum insertion torque, torque-time curves, and primary stability using resonance frequency analysis (RFA). Insertion energy was calculated as area under torque-time curve applying the trapezoidal formula. Statistical a ...[more]
