Full description

using Densah burs in preparation of implant osteotomy compared to ridge expansion screws in low quality bone

Enrollment: 20 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 20 to 60 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• • Single tooth missing in the maxillary region with D3 (350-850 HU) and D4 (150-350 HU) bone (Sultana et al., 2020).

  • A minimum of 4 mm residual buccolingual bone width at site of implant placement (Koutouzis et al., 2019).

    • The recipient site of the implant should be free from any pathological conditions.
    • No diagnosed bone disease or medication known to affect bone metabolism.
    • Patients who are cooperative, motivated and hygiene conscious.
    • Patients having adequate inter-occlusal space of 8-10 mm (Fernández et al., 2017)

Exclusion criteria

• Systemic conditions/diseases that contraindicate surgery (Jarikian et al., 2021).

  • Patients who have any habits that might jeopardize the osseointegration process, such as current smokers (Vollmer et al., 2020).
  • Patients with parafunctional habits that produce overload on implant, such as bruxism and clenching (Sultana et al., 2020).
  • Alcohol or drug abuse (Ibrahim et al., 2020).
  • Pregnant and lactating women.
