Abstract

Primary implant stability basically depends on the quality and the quantity of bone. Osseodensification is a non-excavating additive drilling sequence used to enhance implant stability. Therefore, it is of interest to compare insertion torque (IT) and implant stability quotient (ISQ) values after 6 months after surgery for standard drilling (SD) and osseodensification (OD) drilling methods. In this prospective study, total 40 implants with the same diameter and length were placed in 30 patients using SD (20 implants) and OD (20 implants) methods in the posterior maxilla. The amounts of IT after surgery, ISQ and crestal bone level at baseline and six months later were evaluated. The obtained data was statically evaluated. The OD technique provided a higher IT rate after surgery compared to the SD method.
