Rathi M, Iyer SR. Osseodensification—A novel approach in implant dentistry in Seibert Class 1 ridge deficiency: A case report. Int J Case Rep Images 2022;13:101279Z01MR2022.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Prosthetic rehabilitation of missing teeth (partial/complete) using dental implant has been an established procedure for a long time. Conventionally it involves the use of twisted drills to prepare the implant site. However, the use of modified drills such as Densah burs is relatively new. It works in densifying mode by compacting the bone into a prepared osteotomy site which leads to an increase in primary stability due to an increase in bone-implant contact. This method is based on the principle of bone conservation and it can be used as an essential treatment alternative.
Case Report: The case report presented here describes the utilization of the novel technique for the implant site preparation when there is alveolar ridge deficiency in buccolingual direction (Siebert Class I deficiency) and the successful osseointegration of dental implant without the need of the surgical procedure to carry out any bone augmentation.
Conclusion: Adequate implant primary stability with preservation of alveolar ridge integrity was achieved, resulting in a shorter duration of restoration for the patient.
