Evaluation of Implant Stability Changes in Sites Prepared with Different Osseodensification Techniques: a Prospective Observational Clinical Study

"Under local anesthesia (mepivacaine HCL 2% with epinephrine1:100.000), a minimally invasive full-thickness flap was elevated to expose the alveolar crest.~A pilot osteotome (100-P) was used to easily perforate the cortical plate. Subsequently, osteotomes with gradually increasing diameters were employed until the final diameter of 3.2 mm was reached.~The sequence of osteotomes and their respective diameters were as follows:~1. Osteotome 100-P: At a height of 8.5 mm, the diameter was 2.2 mm;~2. Osteotome 160: At a height of 8.5 mm, the diameter was 2.8 mm;~3. Osteotome 200: At a height of 8.5 mm, the diameter was 3.2 mm. Implant (4.0x8.5 mm; Anyridge, Megagen, Gyeongbuk, South Korea) was positioned using a surgical motor.~A 3 mm high transepithelial abutment (OCTA, Megagen, Gyeongbuk, South Korea) was connected to it using a torque wrench and it was tightened to 30 Ncm.~Single sutures in monofilament synthetic polypropylene 4.0 were performed to close flaps around the abutment."

"Under local anesthesia (mepivacaine HCL 2% with epinephrine1:100.000), a minimally invasive full-thickness flap was elevated to expose the alveolar crest.~The implant site preparation was realized using osseodensification burs at a rotation speed of 1200 rpm. The osseodensification burs sequence was as follows:~1. Initial pilot hole (rotated clockwise);~2. WT1828 bur (rotated counterclockwise),~3. WT2838 bur (rotated counterclockwise). Implant (4.0x8.5 mm; Anyridge, Megagen, Gyeongbuk, South Korea) was positioned using a surgical motor.~A 3 mm high transepithelial abutment (OCTA, Megagen, Gyeongbuk, South Korea) was connected to it using a torque wrench and it was tightened to 30 Ncm.~Single sutures in monofilament synthetic polypropylene 4.0 were performed to close flaps around the abutment."
