Implants will be placed in posterior maxilla using two drilling methods; the osseodensification technique and conventional drilling protocols. Implant stability will be measured after implant placement , 1,2,3,4,6 and 8 weeks and 3 months later. Insertion torque will be evaluated at the termination of implant placement and crestal bone loss will be measured post-implant insertion, after 3 months and after 6 and 12 months of loading. Post-operative pain and patients' satisfaction will be assessed as well. implant survival will be assessed at the end of the follow up period

Implant stability
Implant stability will be measured using Osstell (Resonance Frequency Analysis). the measurement unit is Implant stability quotient (ISQ) (range 1-100)
Time frame: immediately post-implant insertion, 1,2,3,4,6,8 weeks and 3 months
Crestal bone loss
Standardized periapical digital radiographs
Time frame: immediately post-implant insertion - 3 months- 6 and 12 months post-loading
Insertion torque
torque wrench
Time frame: at the termination of implant insertion
