Abstract

The implant stability is dependent on a variety of factors some of which are patient centric and others which are clinician centric. The micro and macro geometry of the implant can be controlled by the dentist. By choosing the optimum design of the implant body, the dentist can achieve the best possible results for the procedure. Numerous types of designs are available depending on the size in millimeters and the other is based on the type of thread designs that are available. Studies also show how the thread morphology at the time of placement is helpful in sliding the implant in the correct position. This literature review has been done to aid the clinician in selecting the correct body design while treatment planning which would lead to best possible outcomes.
