abstract={<b>Objective:</b> The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between the peri-implant bone density and the biological stability around dental implants. <b>Materials and Methods:</b> A total of 56 implants were placed in the mandibular canine area of 28 patients to retain mandibular overdentures. The assessment of bone density changes was obtained through Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and the assessment of implant stability was obtained through Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) at loading time, and after 6, 12, 24 months. <b>Results:</b> RFA measurement showed a mean of 67.5¡À 5.8 ISQ at loading time and a mean of 71.3¡À5.5 ISQ after 24 months. Bone density around the implants showed a mean of 683.48¡À78.63 HU at loading time, and a mean of 722.24¡À58.4 HU after 24 months. These increases were statistically significant (<i>p?0.05</i>). <b>Conclusion:</b> The biological implant stability as measured using the Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) and the peri-implant bone density as measured using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) showed a significant moderate positive correlation.},
