Which location is best for implant osseointegration?

  1. Anterior mandible
  2. Posterior mandible
  3. Anterior maxilla
  4. Posterior maxilla
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Posterior mandible

The posterior mandible achieves the highest osseointegration success rates (~98.7% per Drago et al., 1992). It provides good cortical anchorage for primary stability while offering better vascularity than Type I bone of the anterior mandible, supporting superior secondary stability over time.
