Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the primary stability of dental implants with and without surface treatment, by means of resonance frequency, using different materials as substitutes for human bone substrates for insertion. Methods: Sixteen external hexagon, cylindrical Conexão® titanium implants were used, 11.5 mm long by 3.75 mm wide, as follows: 8 Master Porous (MP), with surface treatment and 8 Master Screw (MS) machined. The implant placement was performed on the following substrates: pork rib bone, wood, artificial bone polyurethane National® (40, 20, 15 PCF) and Synbone®. Primary stability was assessed via resonance frequency using an Osstell Mentor? device. Data were analyzed statistically using ANOVA and Tukey's test, with a significance level of 5%. Results: It was found that although MP and MS have a higher value on all substrates, these were not statistically different between groups (p>0.05), except for polyurethane National® 20 PCF. When inserted into the wood substrate and polyurethane National® 40 PCF, MP and MS had higher values . MP, when inserted into the pig bone, was also statistically equal to these interactions. Conclusion: Despite the continuous development of innovations in the characteristics of implant surfaces to assist with the performance of osseointegrated implants, and the fact that our study has found that the surface treatment had no impact on the primary stability checked using ressonance frequency, there is still very little scientific understanding of these effects.
