Comparing Two Surgical Techniques for Building up the Bone Where a Dental Implant is to be Placed

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to compare two techniques routinely used to increase bone volume in the jaw prior to placing a dental implant, called osseocondensation and osseodensification. The study participants are healthy adults who are planning to get a dental implant. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is there a difference in wound closure and soft tissue healing following implant placement using osseocondensation versus osseodensification?
* Is there a difference in bone density around implants placed with osseocondensation versus osseodensification?
* Is there a difference in patient experience during surgery and early phases of healing with osseocondensation versus osseodensification? Researchers will compare implant sites where the osseocondensation technique was used to sites where the osseodensification technique was used to see if there are differences in the outcomes.

It is important to note that the research study will not affect what treatment the participants get. The choice of which technique to use will be made by the dentist who is treating them, based on their clinical judgement. The researchers will only compare the outcomes for the techniques.

For the research study, participants will undergo additional clinical measurements besides those done as the normal post-operative checks, and will fill out questionnaires about their experiences with the procedures. Getting the bone-increasing procedure and getting the dental implant are not part of the research study.

Conditions

  • Dental Implant
  • Sinus Floor Augmentation

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Sinus lift using osseodensification technique

Osseodensification dislocates existing bone into trabeculated space by using a bur that turns in anti-clockwise direction. The procedure itself is not part of the research, but is the intervention of interest to the study.

PROCEDURE

Sinus lift using the osseocondensation technique

This procedure is performed by using osteotome hand instruments. The procedure itself is not part of the research, but is the intervention of interest to the study.
