5. Conclusions
Modifications of the implant’s macrogeometry, by adding a healing chamber to its design (MAE group), produced a significant reduction in the insertion torque of the implants compared with the DC group, which presented a conventional implant design (without healing chambers). However, this reduction in ITV did not decrease the initial stability of these implants as measured by RFA. In addition, the stability measurement 30 and 45 days after implant placement showed higher values for the MAE group than those obtained for the CD group. Finally, both implant models tested showed good evolution of the ISQ values (stability) in the early evaluation period for osseointegration proposed in this study.
