OVERVIEW

Primary stability remains the single most important predictor of implant success — yet for decades, clinicians have had no reliable way to forecast it before surgery. Most treatment plans still rely on bone density estimates, insertion torque, or tactile feedback obtained only after the implant is placed. By then, critical decisions have already been made. In this landmark webinar, Dr.Stanley presents the scientific foundation and clinical validation behind the Five Thread Guideline — the only method shown to accurately predict primary stability before implant placement. Drawing from two major publications written years apart, including a large retrospective validation study, this session explains:

● Why thread engagement — not torque — governs stability

● How biomechanics from engineering predict bone–implant behavior

● How CBCT visualization can forecast stability probabilities with precision
