DIFFERENT METHODS INVOLVED IN ASSESING THE IMPLANT STABILITY-A REVIEW

In order for osseointegration to be effective, implant stability is essential. Functional dental implants require successful osseointegration. Its crucial to conduct ongoing, objective, and high-quality monitoring to assess the stability of the implant. At the primary and secondary stages, implant stability is assessed. The primary source of stability is mechanical contact with the cortical bone. After implant placement, the bone and tissue around the implant regenerate and undergo remodelling, which is influenced by the main stability, bone production, and remodelling. The implants stability affects how long it takes to reach functional loading. Radiographs and microscopic or histologic analysis were historically the gold standard methods to assess stability. However, due to the invasiveness of these methods and associated ethical concerns, many other methods, such as cutting torque resistance, reverse torque analysis, model analysis, etc., have been proposed. In order to predict a long-term prognosis for effective therapy, it is crucial to be able to access implant stability at various time periods.
