A total of 80 implants were placed in the posterior region of the maxilla in 40 patients in a split-mouth design. Bone quality was classified into type I, II, III, IV, or V as assessed preoperatively on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) . Primary implant stability was measured with insertion torque and resonance frequency analysis (ISQ values). Secondary stability was measured by ISQ at abutment installation.
