Evaluating the lateral bone condensing technique in dental implant placement

The influence of lateral bone condensing on the implant stability in low-density bone is of interest. Hence, forty patients were randomly assigned randomization in two groups: conventional osteotomy (Group A), lateral condensing (Group B). The insertion torque and ISQ values were significantly higher in group B and the margin line loss was less after 6 months of use. Radiographic results also indicated the enhanced preservation of bone in Group B. Thus, condensing of the bone on the lateral enhances implant stability and the result of implant osseointegration.
