LIPUS stimulation could significantly improve implant stability assessed by both resonance frequency (RF) analysis and fractal dimension (FD) analysis. Line graphs showing the time trend for (a) mean RF values, (b) mesial side mean FD values, and (c) distal side mean FD values after surgery in the intervention group compared with the control group.
