Comparison of standard and over-dimensioned protocol. The figure displayed shows the comparison between standard and over-dimensioned protocol. a Displays the measurements obtained by RFA. The unit is ISQ with a range of 0 to 100 (minimum to maximum stability). b Displays the results obtained by the torque in and c by the torque out test. Although, there was no statistically significant difference in ISQ between the groups, torque in and torque out tests showed significantly lower values in the over-dimensioned group compared to implant inserted via standard protocol. ISQ, implant stability quotient; IT, insertion torque; TO, torque out
