Article

The authors should be honored for such a well-written and much-needed publication.1 In the work by Javed et al,1 a role of different factors in achieving of a primary stability (Fig) is raised and analysed. In their paper “Role of Primary Stability for Successful Osseointegration of Dental Implants: Factors of Influence and Evaluation”, are precisely described: Pre-requisites for a fortunate primary stability, density and quality of the bone tissue, design of the implants, methods of evaluation of the primary stability, and how micromotions can effect the primary stability.1

 

The partial/complete edentulous patient embodies the convergence of three extremely common, very challenging, and highly expensive conditions: lack of bone, poor quality of bone tissue, and high costs for the dental implants placement/bone augmentation procedures.2-8

 

So, factors affecting primary and secondary stability of the dental implants were beautifully outlined by Javed et al:1

 

1. Factors influencing primary stability:

 

  • Bone quantity.
  • Bone quality.
  • Surgical technique.
  • Implant design.

2. Factors influencing secondary stability:

 

  • Primary stability.
  • Bone remodeling.
  • Implant surface conditions.

The bone dentistry classifications (Linkow and Chercheve, 1970; Leckholm and Zarb, 1985; Misch, 1995)1 are so clearly characterized that it simplifies for the surgeons to plan and to predict the procedures using cone-beam computed tomography with Hounsfield Units measurement.3 Carefully describing the “soft bones” Javed et al warn about the risks in achieving primary stability in case of soft jaw densities.1 But, as pointed out by other authors,4 poor primary stability is not statistically significant in the loss of dental implants. Cobo-Vázquez et al made those conclusions after analysis of 2,400 implants among which ninety-two implants were placed without primary stability.4

 

In summary, authors have done a great review of a hot topic of last years, analyzed 68 peer-reviewed literary sources.1 It makes the article1 an important source for colleagues who are interested in a brief review of challenging situations in implant surgeries, especially at posterior maxilla.

FIGURE A. Case (A, B) of the author (Nagorniak IV) demonstrates an example of primary stability of implant at the maxilla (place of a tooth 1.4). Image B: Large buccal wall defect2 (asterisk) and palatal bone gap (circle) were treated by bone grafting with guided bone regeneration using titanium mesh.
