Abstract
On the basis of a biomechanical model for the bone healing process around a dental implant, the attainable degree of ossification in two-phase implantation is studied for a screw implant and compared with corresponding results for a cylinder implant. It is shown that a screw implant delivers a better ossification of the repair zone than a cylinder implant which is in accordance with clinical observation.
