The Working of self-tapping and nonself-tapping implant design in terms of implant stability, durability and ease in bone present in the maxilla and mandible It involved a total of 150 implants: 75 self-tapping and 75 nonself-tapping. The implants were placed in the various segments of the maxilla and mandible in sites prepared with either lateral bone-condensing or with bone-drilling techniques. Implant stability measurements were performed immediately after implant placement and weekly during a 12-week followup period (1, 2). Both types of implants placed after bone techniques results in agreeably good stability immediately after placement, as well as during the complete12-week observation time. After bone condensation, there were no much variation in initial stability or in complete implantstability(3).
