Description
Marwan Adel Ali, Ahmed Mostafa ElSabbagh, and Yehia El-Mahallawy compare in 2026 two bone-compacting drill techniques for dental implants in the visible front upper jaw. Osseodensification prepares the implant bed by pressing bone outward instead of cutting it away, which should improve stability. Seven patients received implants on both sides in a split-mouth trial, one side prepared with rotary Densah burs and the other with a magnetic mallet device.
Follow-up imaging and stability checks favored the rotary burs, which gave higher implant stability, less pain after surgery, faster wound healing, and better preservation of the thin outer bone plate. Long-term bone density and crest width ended similar between methods. Within this small trial, the authors judge the bur technique the more predictable choice for this esthetic zone.
