Abstract
In this study, in vitro and in vivo models were adopted for assessing the application of resonance frequency analysis (RFA) in the early detection of implant stability. In the in vitro tests, RF values of implants placed in bone block with predrilled cavities of 3.75 and 5.0 mm were measured and compared. Stone was used to fill the inter-space between implants and the bone blocks. Our results showed that poor initial stability conditions contributed to a lower initial RF (IRF) value (5.41±0.32 kHz) and a longer simulated healing period (41 min) than that of well-fitted conditions (9.63±0.34 kHz for IRF, 14 min for the simulated healing period, P
