What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate the effects of two implant placement methods—the conventional drilling method and the osseodensification technique—on bone density and bone height around dental implants supporting mandibular overdentures. The study focuses on patients with edentulous mandibles, assessing these methods radiographically using CBCT and clinically by measuring probing depth and gingival health. The trial addresses challenges related to bone quality and implant stability in the posterior mandible, where poor bone can lead to implant failure. Participants will receive two implants: one placed using the conventional drilling method on one side of the mandible and the other using the osseodensification method on the opposite side. The osseodensification technique preserves and compacts bone during site preparation, aiming to increase bone density and implant stability. This randomized, double-masked study compares outcomes between these two techniques over time. During the study, bone height and density will be measured at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months after implant placement. Clinical evaluations including probing depth and gingival index will be conducted to assess implant support. Participants must be aged 55 to 65, edentulous, and in good health without systemic bone or debilitating diseases. The study involves monitoring implant stability, bone changes, and oral health over a year, with all treatments and assessments conducted under medical supervision.
