We all look for success in our treatments. In this lecture, the current criteria of what we consider a successful treatment will be analyzed. Two key points to get it are the predictability and the stability. We will talk about bone stability, a key condition for maintaining long-lasting good results in implantology. We also will analyse it both from the point of view of the treatment protocols and the use of the intermediate abutments as a biological insurance mechanism. We will review the causes that put this stability at risk by inducing the so feared in implantology “bone loss”, because we do not want to treat a problem: WE WANT TO AVOID IT.
