Bone formation on titanium
Length of Implant
Ranges from 6mm to 20mm
It is the measured from the height of the crest of the ridge to 1mm from the nearest anatomic limitation
Aim in selecting length is bicortical stabilization
Diameter of the Implant
Must be such that atleast 1 mm of healthy bone remains around the implant both buccally & lingually
Bone density also governs implant width.
Wider implants have better bone contact & greater cross section at the neck of the implant.
