Abstract
The ability of root form implants to withstand lateral forces has been investigated in animal model. Two new techniques for quantification of forces generated by a loading device have been developed and tested. The strain gages bonded to the loading device were calibrated either intraorally by a micro load cell, or in laboratory by Instrom Machine.
Preliminary results indicate that laterally applied continuous forces up to 6,000 grams do not elicit failure of root form implants.
