Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) is to assess the stability of dental implants in bone. It is expected that one of the factors influencing the RFA results is the bone quality, thus the aim of this study was to examine the relation between subjectively scored bone quality and implant stability.
