Osseo-densification for preservation and compaction of alveolar bone in enhancing stability of dental implants: A systematic review

Abstract

A higher implant failure rate may be associated with a lack of primary stability. Primary stability is a stationary, entirely mechanical parameter that determines when an implant is placed. Several methods have been developed to improve the primary implant's level of stability. However, Osseo-densification (OD) is a revolutionary implant preparation approach that addresses these issues and enhances the main stability of implants inserted into low-density bones. In light of this, the present systematic review was conducted to understand the Osseo-densification for preservation and compaction of alveolar bone in enhancing the stability of the dental implant. Research papers from PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Web of Science, Medline searched. The most recent literature suggests that using the Osseo-densification drilling protocol increases the overall value of implant insertion torque and, consequently, increases the primary stability of implants. To evaluate the caliber of the contained research, CARE, ARRIVE, and modified CONSORT checklists were employed. 133 full texts were chosen for further investigation after duplicates were removed and titles and abstracts were reviewed of these, 27 entire texts met the inclusion criteria. The thorough literature search identified 6 Case Studies & Case Series, 11 in vivo animal studies, and ten /experimental animal studies that noted the use of the Osseo-densification technique. The data from most recent animal in vivo/in vitro studies and case reports / case series suggest that Osseo-densification drilling protocol increases the overall value of implant insertion torque and, as a result, increases implant primary stability.
