Ex vivo comparison of drilling techniques for optimizing primary stability of zirconia dental implants in different bone densities
Zirconia implant systems exhibit substantial variability in primary stability based on the selected drilling protocol and bone quality. Reducing thread cutting demonstrated improved stability in soft bone. However, excessive torque should be avoided to prevent mechanical failure, especially in systems with lower fracture resistance.
