The Effect of Osseodensification on Implant Stability in Posterior Maxilla

December 31, 2024 updated by: Sara Amr Abdel Raouf, Cairo University

Assessment of Dental Implants Stability After Using Osseodensification Method Versus Conventional Drilling in the Posterior Maxilla: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Implants will be placed in posterior maxilla using two drilling methods; the osseodensification technique and conventional drilling protocols. Implant stability will be measured after implant placement , 1,2,3,4,6 and 8 weeks and 3 months later. Insertion torque will be evaluated at the termination of implant placement and crestal bone loss will be measured post-implant insertion, after 3 months and after 6 and 12 months of loading. Post-operative pain and patients' satisfaction will be assessed as well. implant survival will be assessed at the end of the follow up period
