Impacts of 3D bone-to- implant contact and implant diameter on primary stability of dental implant

This study investigated the effects of three three-dimensional (3D) bone-to-implant contact (BIC) parameters—potential BIC area (pBICA), BIC area (BICA), and 3D BIC percentage (3D BIC%; defined as BICA divided by pBICA)—in relation to the implant diameter on primary implant stability, as well as the...
