Clinical and Radiographic Assessment of the Outcomes of Dental Implant Inserted after Xenograft Socket Preservation in Posterior Maxilla: A Randomized Controlled Study

Dental implants have become a common choice among the treatment options for missing teeth rehabilitation and has remarkably high survival and success rates Since the introduction of implants into clinical practice more than several decades ago. The success rate of dental implants, over the last ten years, has been about 90- 95%.

Invasive and non-invasive clinical tests are available like histomorphometric analysis, radiographic analysis, push- and pull-out tests, percussion tests, Periotest and resonance frequency analysis (RFA) are employed to assess the steadiness of dental implants to assess objectively implant stability at different stages of its service life to verify successful implantation.
