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

The effects of osseodensification and conventional osteotomy techniques on dental implants is of interest. The <i>in vivo</i> 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.
