The Osseodensification Burs Kit     

The recently introduced technique of Osseodensification for dental implant involves the use of special drills  run in a counter-clockwise direction at the Osteotomy site. It is claimed that this causes expansion of the osteotomy site, and increases density of the bone in immediate vicinity of the Osteotomy. We reviewed published papers on the primary stability attained using this drilling technique. As a secondary finding, the bone to implant contact  and the bone area fraction occupancy  was also compared between the conventional drilling protocol and the Osseodensification protocol, among these articles. A Systematic search was performed in PubMed-Medline, Embase and Google Scholar for clinical/animal studies up to November 2018. A total of 12 articles, from a database  articles, consisting of 8 animal histologic studies, 2 human based clinical studies, 1 case series and 1 case report were assessed. 10/12 articles measured the insertion torque values, 7/12 articles measured the BIC and 6/12 articles estimated between the two techniques. Quality assessment of 8 studies performed using ARRIVE guidelines showed that 6/8 studies had a high score. An average increase in the insertion torque, was noted in the Osseodensification group as compared to the conventional drilling group. Since most of these studies are non-clinical, it can be inferred that Osseodensification is an efficient way to enhance primary stability of implants in low density bone in an animal model.

Easy and safe maxillary sinus autografting – no risk of perforation

Better implant placement and fixation – greater stability and improved osseointegration process

Enhanced bone density and quality via bone condensing – promoted long term implant survival

Reduced healing recovery process – less painful, less swelling

Extremely low risk of rejection or complications

Minimal bone tissue trauma

Reduced chair time – less instruments and different tools are needed

Special stainless steel material with DNT coating increase durability and overall working time with less heat generation and sharpness exhaustion.
