Official title
A Randomized Controlled Clinical Study Comparing Implant Stability Using Osteotome vs. Conventional Drilling Techniques by Resonance Frequency Analysis
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The study will be conducted to compare two alternative techniques for dental implant placement. Both of the techniques - Osteotome and Conventional Drilling Techniques for the preparation of the implant sites (osteotomies) are accepted standards of care. The goal of the study will be to compare implant stabilities achieved with two techniques by measuring resonance frequency for each implant placed using the diagnostic device, the Osstell machine, that measures "stiffness" of the bone/implant system non-invasively. The data are represented in a quantitative value - implant stability quotient (ISQ), where a higher value indicated a higher implant stability. Since it has been well documented in the scientific literature that primary (at the time of implant placement) implant stability is a strong prerequisite for implant success (osseointegration and subsequent function on loading), the results of this study will guide the implant team in choosing the right surgical treatment protocol - the protocol that will be aimed for higher implant stability, and, therefore, for higher long-term implant success.
