Background: Implant stability plays a major role in establishing implant osseointegration; it is considered an important requirement to decide the functional loading time with a fixed prosthesis. This study aims to investigate the primary and secondary stability of a onepiece compressive conometric implant system in the posterior upper and lower jaws.Materials and methods: Forty-six compressive one-piece implants from ROOTT Trade Company were placed in the upper and lower jaws. Ready-made Conometric TCE (titanium) with a prosthesis was fixed to the abutment. The implant stability was measured with an implant stability tester (Anycheck device, NeoBiotech, South Korea) by resonance frequency analysis (RFA) at facial, oral, mesial, distal, and occlusal surfaces. These measures were collected at baseline immediately after implant insertion, after three months, and six months. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare between the time points.Results: 14 patients, 6 women, and 8 men, with an average age of 61.08 years old (ranging from 35 to 79 years). The median baseline RFA values show statistically significant differences between maxillary (55, IQR 51-61) and mandibular (64, IQR 60-67) as well as between male (59, IQR 53-64) and female (67, IQR 64-69). The occlusal surface shows the highest RFA compared to other surfaces. The stability of DI significantly increases in maxilla and male after six months compared to the baseline (P = 0.0006 and 0.0001, respectively).Conclusions: The study suggests the reliability of both the primary and secondary stabilities of the one-piece compressive conometric implant system in the posterior upper and lower jaws after six months, and the stability improves after six months.
