Osseodensification vs Conventional Drilling for Immediate Dental Implant Placement

An interventional study of Osseodensification burs and Conventional burs in Immediate Dental Implant Placement, Conventional Drilling Technique and Osseodensification Drilling Technique, sponsored by Mohamad Ali Itani. Enrolling by invitation at 1 site in Lebanon. Open to participants aged 25 Years to 45 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-07-28.

From the registry’s dates

  • Primary completion was expected by Dec 2025, 10 months ago, but the record still lists the study as enrolling by invitation.

Study summary

Aim of the study is to analyze and compare the characteristic differences occurring in the surrounding bone in an immediate implant placed by osseodensification to immediate implants placed with the conventional technique

Read the detailed description

A bifurcation inter-radicular bone of 2 mm or more in a none restorable lower molar will be needed in order to successfully be able to drill the bone with conventional or Osseo densification burs, followed by placing the implant at this site. A xenograft bone material will be used to fill the extraction socket and a customized temporary abutment using flowable composite and a silicone mold will be fabricated and placed over it after polishing it.

Interventions

  • OtherOsseodensification burs

    Densah burs are osseodensification burs used to condense bone and prepare dental implant site, unlike conventional technique which cuts and removes the bone

  • OtherConventional burs

    Preparation of dental implant site by the Conventional technique using Conventional burs that are subtractive

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Interradicular bone width

    The width of the interradicular bone in the interradicular septum will be measured immediately before and after drilling is performed during surgery. Measurements will be taken using a UNC-15 periodontal probe and recorded in millimeters (mm).

    Time frame: Intraoperative (at time of surgery)

  2. Dental implant stability

    Implant stability will be assessed using the Osstell device, which uses resonance frequency analysis to calculate an Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ). ISQ values range from 1 to 100, with higher values indicating greater implant stability.

    Time frame: up to 4 months after dental implant placement

Secondary outcomes

  1. Marginal Bone Level

    Bone levels will be estimated on the labial, palatal, distal, and mesial surfaces of each implant using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Measurements will be taken from a fixed reference point at the implant shoulder to the bone crest. All measurements will be recorded in millimeters (mm).

    Time frame: up to 7 months after the implantation

  2. Bone density

    Bone density will be measured in four regions around each dental implant: buccal, lingual, apical, and crestal. The mean grayscale value for each implant will be calculated based on these four areas. Bone density values will be obtained from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and expressed in grayscale units.

    Time frame: up to 7 months after dental implant placement

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 28, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
