Osseodensification Dental Implants
Brief summary
Ridge expansion techniques allow implant placement in narrow alveolar ridges by increasing bone volume using the native bone. This technique has shown to be a safe and effective procedure.
Detailed description
This clinical study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ridge expansion techniques in patients with narrow alveolar ridges characterized by low bone density. The procedure relies on using the patient's native bone to increase ridge volume, allowing for successful placement of dental implants without the need for extensive grafting. The study will compare different expansion methods in terms of bone gain, implant stability, and complication rates. By assessing clinical and radiographic outcomes, the trial seeks to determine the predictability and safety of ridge expansion as a minimally invasive alternative for implant site development.
Interventions
DEVICEDensah Bur
Implant site preparation will be performed using the Densah bur system to achieve osseodensification in narrow alveolar ridges prior to implant placement.
DEVICEMagnetic Mallet
Implant site preparation will be performed using the Magnetic Mallet device to achieve osseodensification in narrow alveolar ridges prior to implant placement.
