3.4.2. Stability Evaluation

Immediately after implantation, the ISQ values in all of the experimental groups were higher than in control group, but differences were not statistically significant. At eight weeks after surgery, ISQ values were higher than at baseline in the experimental groups, whereas in the control group, they were lower or similar than baseline values. ISQ increases were significantly greater in the experimental groups than in the control group (*p* < 0.05) (Table 2). But, no difference was observed between the groups (*p* > 0.05).


**Table 2.** Implant stability quotient (ISQ) values of groups immediately and 8 weeks after implantation.

Notes: At surgery: ISQ value at surgery; At week 8: ISQ value 8 weeks after surgery; a,b: Numbers in the same column with the same superscripts were not significantly different; *p* values were obtained by ANOVA; \**p* < 0.05.
