About

The research aims to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of satellite implants in the posterior mandible by assessing the levels of crestal bone after six months of first loading and secondary stability issues at fourth-month , primary stability at time of implant loading . In particular, the primary outcome of this study is to assessment stability of satellite implants, which will be evaluated by anycheck device.

Full description

satellite dental implants show potential for improving stability, and reducing crestal bone loss in the posterior mandible site, it offers effective solution for cases where primary stability is compromised due to poor bone quality or quantity. By providing additional support and anchorage, they enhance the overall stability of the implant, reducing the risk of failure and allowing for successful immediate loading. clinical evidence for their efficacy is still lacking. This prospective case series intends to fill this gap by evaluating crestal bone levels and stability factors in patients who are getting satellite implants for immediate loading in the posterior mandible. The results will improve clinical recommendations and practice for implant placements in the posterior mandible.

Assessment stability of satellite implant

Experimental group

Description:

Satellite implant is connecting microplate is attached to the implant's supra structure placed on the adjacent alveolus. Miniature "satellite" implant screws are inserted at approximal cortical sites to give the implant additional stability
