Implant Stability Changes Using Underdrilling Versus Osseodensification Protocols for Posterior Dental Implants

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Osseodensification: Osseodensification uses specially designed burs to densify osteotomy site

Underdrilling: In underdrilling the osteotomy is smaller than implant diameter to be placed

Study summary

This clinical trial aims to compare two drilling protocols Underdrilling and Osseodensification for placing dental implants in patients with low bone density. The purpose is to compare which technique provides better primary and secondary implant stability in the posterior regions of the jaw with low bone density. The hypothesis is that there is no significant difference in implant stability between the two protocols.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Implant stability — 12-18 months
  It compares Primary stability and Secondary stability after implant placement. Primary stability is recorded by insertion torque values from manual torque wrench. Secondary stability is recorded by resonance frequency analysis.
