What this Trial Is About
Researchers are comparing implant stability and bone health after placing dental implants in patients missing upper back teeth. The study evaluates three methods: Osteotomes, Osseodensification using Densah Burs, and conventional drilling. They aim to understand which technique best supports implant stability and reduces bone loss around temporary crowns in healed bone sites. Participants will receive implants using one of three techniques: conventional drilling following manufacturer's instructions, Osseodensification with Densah Burs which densifies bone by rotating burs in specific directions, or Osteotomes which compress bone to improve density. After implant placement, a temporary acrylic crown will be placed at three months and monitored for a year before final restoration. During the study, implant stability will be measured frequently up to 16 weeks after surgery. Bone levels will be assessed at surgery, 12 weeks, and 48 weeks to monitor bone loss around the implant. Participants will attend regular follow-ups over a year to assess healing, implant integration, and restoration success. The entire participation may last over a year including monitoring and final restoration placement.

Your Study Journey
Duration - 2 to 4 weeks
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.
1 visit (in-person)
Duration - Approximately 16 weeks
Participants receive implant placement using one of three techniques: conventional drilling, Osseodensification with Densah Burs, or osteotomes. Implant stability will be actively monitored during this period.
Visits on day of surgery and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 16 weeks postoperatively
Duration - Up to 1 year following treatment
Participants receive a temporary crown after 3 months and are followed for up to one year to monitor crestal bone loss and finalize restoration.
Visits at 12 and 48 weeks postoperatively
