Reviewer 2 Report
This article is interesting; however, the authors need to take in consideration the following suggestions before accepting it:
- The introduction needs to be improved by discussing current articles because only a few new articles have been included in it.
- The quality of figures needs to be increased, also the size of labels needs to be increased.
- It is important to justify the selected feature (energy) in your work, why do not other features such as variance, RMS, etc have been tested?.
- The authors need to explain better the experimental setup, or how were obtained the signals, i.e., sampling frequency, etc.
- The authors do not compare their results with other methods proposed in the literature recently in order to validate or show that their contribution is important in the subject.
- The conclusion needs to be improved, adding quantitative results not only qualitative results. In addition, it is important to mention, what is the next with the investigation?

Reviewer 3 Report
This paper presents an xperimental study on the vibration analysis of a novel implant design. This is a interesting paper but it is lack of the theoretical background. I strongly recommend the authors to include this part.

Round 2
Reviewer 1 Report
My questions have been well answered in the authors' responses. Also, the manuscript quality is improved with a more detailed background introduction and references, with the help of the other reviewers. Therefore, I decided to recommend the manuscript publishing on Sensors.

We wish to thank the reviewers for their comments on our manuscript “Experimental Investigation of Vibration Analysis On Implant Stability For a Novel Implant Design”. Thank you for the thorough and critical review, the thoughtful comments, and the constructive suggestions, which help to improve this manuscript.
Reviewer 2 Report
The authors must justify analytically or experimentally the use of energy as a feature in your proposal and it is superior to other features. In addition, it is mandatory that the authors provide a comparison with other proposals in order to observe the advantages and disadvantages of their proposal.
