Pre-Clinical Studies

1) Stress Distribution on Dental Implants

"From the simulation results in this study, it can be concluded that the magnitude of the maximum stresses in the bone is the lowest, the stresses are the most evenly distributed and the heavily loaded area is the least extended, when a micro-grooved implant is fastened, levelling the cortical bone surface.“ (Prof. Dr. Lsatid, University of Budapest)

2) Impact of implant diameter on implant micromotion and insertion torque

Aim: To Measure impact of implant diameters on primary stability in relation to three different bone densities in vitro (soft, medium, hard).
Results: Data showed no statistically significant differences in micromotion between 4,1 diameter implants and 4,7 diameter. Implants with large diameter (4,7 mm) demonstrated higher mean values of insertion torque than implants with smaller  diameter.

3) Impact of Implantoplasty  on Flexible Strength of Dental Implant

Aim: To evaluate the incidence of fracture of the implants after implantoplasty on three different diameters that have 25% and 50% surface exposure.
Results: Results are currently being published in journal and will be available by Q2/2013.
