In this video, Dr. Robert Stanley, the Smile Engineer, introduces and explains the Five-Thread Guideline (5-TG): a new clinical rule for predicting primary stability with dental implants in both healed and fresh extraction sites. Drawing from his recent paper in Journal of Oral Implantology, Dr. Stanley walks us through how engaging five full implant threads in native bone—or using bi-socket or tri-socket stabilization—can significantly improve the likelihood of successful immediate implant placement.
