One‐Year Prospective Three‐Center Study Comparing the Outcome of a “Soft Bone Implant” (Prototype Mk IV) and the Standard Brånemark Implant

Abstract

The modified implant design resulted in an increased primary stability, which may be important when placing implants in jaw regions of type 4 bone. However, independent of the achieved primary stability, successful implants tended to approach similar secondary stability in the two designs tested.
