Evaluation of Implant Stability in Low Quality Bone Following The Use of Osseodensifiers Versus Ridge Expanders
Low Bone Density
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Low Bone Density focused on measuring osseodensification, ridge expansion screw
Eligibility Criteria
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.

Osseodensification technique group
Ridge expansion screw group
10 patients will be randomly assigned to the osseodensification group so the implant osteotomy will be prepared using densah burs
