Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to compare ridge dimensional changes between densification and standard drilling protocols and to compare primary and secondary stability of implants placed by bone densification and standard drilling protocols

Interventions

DEVICEOsseoDensification (OD) protocol

Osseodensification is a drilling process by which bone is being compacted and auto-grafted in an outwardly expanding direction from the osteotomy. When the osseodensification drills are being rotated in a reversed, non-cutting direction a strong and dense layer of bone is formed along the walls and base of the osteotomy.

DEVICEstandard drilling (SD) protocol (NobelReplace® Conical)

osteotomy preparation through bone excavation is necessary in implant site development for the placement of dental implants. The process involves a forward cutting process with removal of bone tissue creating appropriate size osteotomy for the dental implant.

Primary Stability of the Implants as Indicated by the Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) as Measured by the Resonance Frequency Analysis Using the Ostell ISQ Meter 6 Weeks After Implant Placement6 weeks after implant placementThe Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) value is a measurement used to assess the stability of dental implants. It is obtained by resonance frequency analysis and ranges from 1 to 100, with higher values indicating greater stability.

Percent Change of Buccal Bone Thickness as Assessed by the Cone Beam Computer Tomography at 1.5 mm From the Implant Platform6 months post implantationThe buccal bone thickness (BBT) was measured using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The percentage change in BBT was calculated by comparing the post-implant measurements to baseline values, with positive percentages indicating an increase in thickness and negative percentages indicating a decrease in thickness.
