"SDS Facts" #7: Primary Stability
1.12.2025 · 3 min
In the conical tapered apical area of SDS implants, the
deep Dynamic Thread® depths provide the immediate grip
necessary for initial stability, even in cases of low bone quality
or minimal apical bone volume.¹⁻²
Key Takeaways
• Comfort while placing
• Security for immediate stability regardless of bone quality and quantity
Clinical Advantages for Surgeons
During the insertion of the implant, the conical tapered apical design and its Dynamic Thread® deep threads ensure
immediate grip into the bone, resulting in:

Different thread depths provide stability across all bone classes. Non-varying thread depths require higher torque, increasing the risk of bone necrosis (in bone class I) or thread stripping (in bone class IV). Competitor thread designs feature fewer threads, reducing the surface area and bone-to-implant contact. In addition, they lack sharp cutting edges, which causes greater heat generation during implant insertion.
