Effect of Different Drilling Techniques on Primary Stability and Marginal Bone Loss of Extra Short Implants

The Effect of Low Speed Drilling Without Irrigation Versus Conventional Drilling With Irrigation in Extra Short Implants on Primary Stability and Marginal Bone Loss

Our aim in this study is to compare the effects of low-speed drilling surgery technique without irrigation and conventional implant surgery technique with irrigation on extra short implants. The criteria to be taken into consideration when investigating the effect of these techniques on implants are as follows: evaluation of osseointegration at the end of three months, evaluation of marginal bone loss at the end of three months, initial insertion torque values (maximum insertion torque and final insertion torque), ISQ values obtained with a radiofrequency analyzer (Osstel) at the beginning and at the end of three months.

Inclusion Criteria:

• There must be toothless space in the maxillary and mandibular posterior region (distal part of the canine in each quadrant).
• The edentulous space should not require additional bone grafting.
• Bleeding areas on probing should be less than 10%
• There should be no pathological periodontal pockets
• Patients who do not smoke or smoke less than 10 cigarettes
• There should be no bruxism
• At least 6 months must have passed since the last tooth extracted from the toothless space where the implant is planned.
• There should be no diabetes.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Having psychological problems
• Smoking more than 10 cigarettes
• Alcohol and drug use
• Pregnancy
