Summary

A prospective observational clinical study guided by the guidelines of Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STORBE) in 2014, that conducted to assess amount of ridge expansion obtained by using Dansah burs with simultaneous implant placement.

Detailed description

In this study, 40 implants will be installed in osteotomy sites prepared by Densah burs (osseodensification preparation technique) for patients with horizontal bone deficiency based on radiographic findings (CBCT). Alveolar ridge width will be measured intraoperatively before and after osteotomy site preparation to assess the amount of ridge expansion. Implant stability will be measured immediately after implant installation and 16 weeks later.

Conditions

• Horizontal Ridge Deficiency

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Densah burs	Osseodensification is a non-excavating implant site preparation technique. It creates a densified layer of surrounding bone through compaction autografting while simultaneously plastically expanding the bony ridge at the same time facilitating for placement of large diameter implants and also avoiding fenestration and dehiscence defects. The autografting occurs along the entire length of the osteotomy through a hydrodynamic process with the use of irrigation. The result is a consistently cylindrical and densified osteotomy.
