Effects of implant length and 3D bone-to-implant contact on initial stabilities of dental implant: a microcomputed tomography study

Abstract Background The influences of potential bone-to-implant contact (BIC) area (pBICA), BIC area (BICA), and three dimensional (3D) BIC percentage (3D BIC%; defined as BICA divided by pBICA) in relation to the implant length on initial implant stability were studied. Correlations between these p...
