ABSTRACT
Bone density is a key parameter in determining the surgical procedure of implant placement and for the predictability of successful implant treatment. Several clinical studies have shown lower survival rates of implants in maxilla which was attributed to poor bone quality. The present study compared the variations in the pre-operative and post-operative bone density values in Hounsfield units using CT between drilling technique and bone expansion technique at 0.25 and 1.0 mm sections at two sites which were selected in maxillary arch between the second premolar regions of either quadrants and results have shown bone expansion technique is superior to drilling technique in division III bone.
