Abstract
The quality of bone plays an important role in the long-term clinical success ofdental implant treatment. Several bone quality classification systems have been proposedthat are based largely on anatomical and histological data. In 1991 the Dental Implant Clinical Research Group initiated a long-term clinical study in cooperation with the Department of Veterans Affairs to investigate the influence of implant design, application, and site of placement on long-term clinical performance and crestal bone height. As part ofthis investigation, the quality of bone was assessed using both radiographs and tactile sensations at the time of implant placement over a 3-year period. With over 1,900 evaluations made, the results indicate that there is a range of bone quality for each anatomical area. Anterior bone tends to be denser than that found in the posterior region. The mandible is generally denser than the maxilla. The anterior mandible has the densest bone followed by the posterior mandible, anterior maxilla, and posterior maxilla. Throughout all anatomical regions, quality 2 and 3 bone predominated. The significance of various bone qualities and how they may affect treatment planning and prognosis are discussed
