Abstract
It is of interest to explore the correlation between preoperative bone density, assessed via CBCTT, and primary stability of dental implants, assessed by torque ratchet. A total of 100 patients who had implant placed were taken a sample for this retrospective study. The Hounsfield units (HU) derived preoperative bone densities at implant sites that were acquired with the help of the CBCT and the primary stability was achieved during the day of surgery. Both were compared to optimum bone densities. Statistical correlation was done between the HU and Bone density. Data suggests that evaluating HU values, along with other parameters, before performing implant surgery could lead to better primary implant stability.
