Implant Thread Pitch and Height: Importance of these Factors?
Last Updated: Apr 04, 2008
Dr. H. asks:
Are there any studies in the peer reviewed literature on implant thread pitch and thread height? Does altering the thread pitch or thread depth have any effect on osseointegration? Are these factors only important for facilitating insertion and achieving primary stability? Should we be basing our selection of implants on these or other similar thread design features? What about selecting implants for placement in the posterior maxilla where there is Type IV bone?
