Study Summary

This trial is comparing how different protocols for drilling and densifying bone affects the overall stability of an implanted tooth.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with good oral hygiene and one or more toothless gaps older than 10 weeks, who understand and agree to participate in the study. Smokers of over 5 cigarettes a day, recent chemotherapy or radiation patients, pregnant women, steroid users, those with uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes, and people with a history of alcoholism or drug abuse within the last 5 years cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study aims to compare two methods used during dental implant surgery: OsseoDensification (OD) protocol versus standard drilling (SD) protocol. It will assess changes in gum ridge dimensions as well as how stable the implants are initially and over time after placement.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed for this trial, common risks associated with dental implant procedures include infection at the implant site, injury to surrounding structures such as teeth or blood vessels, nerve damage which can result in pain or numbness, sinus problems when upper jaw implants protrude into sinus cavities.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Change in bone ridge width at 10mm apical from crest
Change in bone ridge width at 5mm apical from crest
Change in bone ridge width at crest
Secondary outcome measures
Change in primary stability of the implants as indicated by the implant stability quotient (ISQ) as measured by the resonance frequency analysis using the Ostell ISQ meter
Primary stability of the implants as measured by the insertion torque values
buccolingual width of the ridge as assessed by the Cone beam computer tomography (CBCT)
