Evaluation of Implant Stability According to Implant Placement Site and Duration in Elderly Patients

Abstract
The research examined sixty implants in sixty patients who were 65 years old or older, with diameters of 3.5/4.0/4.5/5.0 mm and lengths of 8.5/10.0/11.5 mm. A, maxillary right-posterior; B, maxillary left-posterior; C, mandibular right-posterior; D, mandibular anterior; E, mandibular left-posterior; F, and a total of ten sections were used to split the implant placement locations. After the implant procedure, participants had to return to the hospital six times: once for stitch removal, twice for one month's follow-up, four times for two months' follow-up, five times before the final restoration was delivered, and six times after it was delivered. The Osstell Mentor, Periotest M, and Anycheck were used to assess the stability of the implants (IST). A significance level of 0.05 was used to assess the mean values of ISQ, PTV, and IST. Compared to 1V, 4V and 5V showed considerably greater ISQ, PTV, and IST findings (p < 0.05). In the E location, at 4V and 5V, the ISQ readings were the lowest (p < 0.05). The IST findings of 6V were noticeably greater than those of 1V, 2V, 3V, and 4V in all mandibular sites (p < 0.05). The findings of the ISQ showed a negative correlation with PTV and a positive correlation with IST, whereas the results of PTV showed a negative correlation with IST.
