Abstract

The quality of bone plays an important role in the long-term clinical success of dental implant treatment. An interim evaluation of the relationship between bone quality and the incidence of failure at second-stage surgery is presented. The data include 2,131 root form implants placed by the Dental Implant Clinical Research Group over the past three years. Trends to date suggest differences in the rates of osseointegration among the various bone qualities. Quality 1 bone experienced the greatest failure rate, whereas quality 2 and quality 3 bone had the lowest failure rates.
