Skewness and Kurtosis: Important Parameters in the Characterization of Dental Implant Surface Roughness—A Computer Simulation

Figure 5

Removal torque = 𝜏 𝑖 𝑅 𝑑 𝐴 𝑐 , where 𝜏 𝑖 is the bone-implant interface shear strength, 𝑅 the distance from the implant surface to the long axis of the implant, and 𝐴 𝑐 the contact area between implant and bone.
