Abstract

Purpose: The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of single drilling technique on stability and osseointegration of delayed dental implant in type IV bone density. Subjects and Methods: The current study was performed on twelve (12) healthy patients that were divided randomly into two groups: Group 1 (Test group) included six (6) patients with delayed implant insertion using single drilling technique; Group 2 (Control group) included six (6) patients with delayed implant insertion using the conventional sequential drilling. Results: A non-statistically significant difference was recorded in clinical parameters after six months follow up in both groups. Test group demonstrated a highly significant increase in primary stability and its bone density after six months in comparison with control group. Conclusion: The use of single drilling technique in type IV bone density appears to have a promising result in increasing primary implant stability and promoting osseointegration.
