Implant surgery is one of the most common maxillofacial surgeries. The issue that has occupied the minds of patients and surgeons is the pain after implant surgery. Implant implantation is usually accompanied by little pain. In some cases, the pain becomes so severe that it can be said that the amount of pain depends on the skill of the surgeon, problems during surgery, the patient's pain tolerance threshold. Today, many experiments have been performed on various implants to increase the rate of fusion of the implant base with the surrounding bone and its success rate. However, no research has been done on the amount of postoperative pain in conical and cylindrical implants. Some studies have examined their success and stability. Cone-shaped implants are better than cylindrical implants at transmitting the pressures of chewing to surrounding bones because they are similar to tooth roots. Another advantage of cone implant is that they do less damage to the bone when placed in the bone. The long-term clinical success of implants depends on osteointegration and the attachment of soft tissues and epithelium to the implant surfaces.
