Evaluation of Immediate Implant Placement Using Osseodensification Compared to Traditional Drilling in the Front Upper Jaw

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are comparing two methods for placing immediate dental implants in the front upper jaw area. The study evaluates the traditional drilling technique versus an osseodensification drilling method that compresses bone to improve implant stability, especially in cases of low bone volume. The goal is to assess how these two drilling protocols affect implant stability and bone health after placement. The study involves two groups Group A receives implants placed using traditional drilling, which cuts the bone to create space for the implant. Group B uses the osseodensification technique with Densah burs that compress the bone around the implant site to enhance bone density. Both methods involve atraumatic flapless tooth extraction, followed by implant placement at a position slightly below the bone crest. Post-surgery, patients receive antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, and antiseptic mouth rinses to support healing. Participants undergo thorough preoperative assessments, including clinical and radiographic exams such as Cone Beam CT scans and periapical X-rays. Follow-up includes monitoring implant stability weekly up to 12 weeks and evaluating bone levels immediately after surgery and at 3 and 6 months. Definitive implant restorations are placed around 6 months after surgery. The study duration and visits are designed to track healing, implant integration, and bone changes over time.
