Horizontal resorption of the posterior alveolar ridge frequently reduces the bone width available for conventional implant placement, and the clinician must then choose between lateral bone augmentation with a standard-diameter implant and placement of a narrow-diameter implant i...

Conventional endosseous dental implants rely on osseointegration to achieve anchorage. Although clinically successful, they inherently lack a functional periodontal ligament (PDL), which in natural dentition provides shock absorption, proprioception, adaptive mobility and a dynam...

The advent of implantology, marked by Professor Per-Ingvar Branemark’s concept of osseointegration, revolutionised tooth replacement. A key indicator of successful osseointegration is implant stability, which can be categorised into primary stability (initial mechanical fixation)...
