Evaluation of hard and soft tissue changes around dental implants with osseodentification in contrast with conventional osteotomy technique: An in vivo study

TL;DR

This study compares osseodensification and conventional techniques for dental implants, finding that osseodensification improves soft tissue health and bone density in patients with poor bone quality.

Contribution

The study introduces evidence that osseodensification enhances soft tissue and bone outcomes compared to conventional methods in compromised bone cases.

Findings

Osseodensification improved probing depth and bleeding index compared to conventional techniques.

Bone density was significantly higher with osseodensification at 3 and 6 months.

The method supports better soft tissue health and bone preservation in patients with poor bone quality.

Abstract

The effects of osseodensification and conventional osteotomy techniques on dental implants is of interest. The in
vivo research focused on hard and soft tissue changes around dental implants placed in partially edentulous patients. Data
shows that osseodensification improved probing depth, bleeding index and bone density, with significant differences observed at 3 and 6
months. Thus, we show that osseodensification enhances both soft tissue health and bone preservation, supporting its use in cases with
compromised bone quality. Future research is needed to explore long-term outcomes and optimize protocols.
