A Novel Morphometric Nomenclature to Evaluate Osseointegration of Intraosseous Implants

The aim of the study was to develop an optimal system of criteria to evaluate the osseointegration of intraosseous dental implants and then to analysis and predict their static and dynamic competence.

Results. We propose a unified nomenclature for the morphometric evaluation of osseointegration of dental implants; this novel system is based on the recommendations of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research as well as recent studies on cranial and maxillofacial implants including our own experience.

Conclusion. The proposed nomenclature can be used as a basic unified platform for experimental and clinical studies on the efficacy and safety of dental implants.
