Implant Stability Outcomes Following Immediate Implant Placement Using Osseodensification Versus Conventional Drilling

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare osseodensification and conventional drilling for immediate dental implant placement in mandibular molar extraction sockets in adults requiring extraction and implant replacement. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does osseodensification improve primary and secondary implant stability compared with conventional drilling? Does osseodensification result in better clinical and radiographic peri-implant outcomes, including marginal bone loss, peri-implant bone density, probing depth, plaque and bleeding indices, during the healing period? Researchers will compare immediate implant placement performed using osseodensification drilling with immediate implant placement performed using conventional drilling to determine whether osseodensification provides superior implant stability and peri-implant tissue outcomes. Participants will: Undergo atraumatic extraction of a mandibular molar followed by immediate implant placement. Be randomly assigned to receive implant site preparation using either osseodensification or conventional drilling. Receive the same implant system and standardized surgical and prosthetic protocols. Attend scheduled follow-up visits for clinical examinations, implant stability measurements using resonance frequency analysis (ISQ), and radiographic evaluation of marginal bone loss and peri-implant bone density during healing and after prosthetic restoration.

Effect of Placing the Implant Crown on the Implant on the Same Day as the Implant vs. 4 Weeks Later.

In this study, participants with one lower first molar that require removal and replacement using dental implants will be enrolled. The implant will be inserted 12-16 weeks after tooth extraction and restored either immediately with an artificial tooth (fixed implant crown) in 50% of the cases or 4 weeks later in the remainder 50%. Immediate and early loading will be compared and the investigators expect no difference in terms of implant success and health of the tissue around the implant.
