Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Implant Stability in Healed Maxillary Posterior Sites Comparing Osteotome, Osseodensification and Conventional Drilling Implant Placement Techniques: A Randomized Clinical Trial
This study aims to compare the implant stability values following implant placement via Osteotomes and via Osseodensification using Densah Burs versus implant placement using conventional drilling technique in patients with upper posterior partially edentulous ridges as well as evaluating the crestal bone loss around temporary restorations following the three compared drilling techniques.
• Patients with an age range of 25-70 years
• Patients with systemic health
• Patient with missing teeth in the upper posterior area
• Patients with D3 or D4 type of alveolar bone
• Healed bony sites with sufficient dimension for implant placement
‣ Vertical height (≥ 10 mm)
⁃ Bucco-lingual dimension (≥ 5.5 mm)
⁃ Mesio-distal width (≥6.5 mm)
• Patients with periodontal health (PD \< 4mm, BOP \< 10%)
• Inter-arch space of 7.5 to allow implant restoration
• Good oral hygiene
• Cooperative patients who accepted the trial follow up period and sign the informed consent
