Laser Treated vs SLA Treated Short Implants in Terms of Stability.

Cairo University8 enrolled

Overview

Laser treated short dental implants will be placed in a posterior atrophic ridge with only 8-10 mm available bone height. Their stability will be measured through a period of 12 weeks. They will be compared to the stability of SLA treated Short dental implants placed in the same situations.

Will Laser Treated Dental Implants Improve Stability Early Healing

Interventions

Laser and SLADEVICE

Patients will be randomized into two groups, control group for SLA implants, and study group will receive the Laser treated implants. Implants will be placed classically in the posterior maxillary region and their stability will be measured by ISQ device at the placement. Measurements will be taken again at 2, 4, 6, 8 , 10 and 12 weeks.
