Dental implants have become a widely accepted treatment modality for the replacement of missing single or multiple teeth in the recent years. In order to meet patients' needs for shorter treatment times and the necessity of dealing with more challenging clinical situations, implants and implant therapies have undergone continuous improvement to improve the function and longevity of the implants. Recently the constant search for improvements in modern implant have been focused on surface modifications so a new era of surface treatment have been showed up; the chemically modified hydrophilic surfaces.

Change in implant stability
The implant stability measurement was examined at the time of insertion of the implants (primary stability) and 6 months (secondary stability) for the two groups of patients using the resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) via the Osstell ISQ system
Time frame: at baseline and 6 months
Change in bone density
Cone beam Computerized tomography was used to assess bone denisty
Time frame: at baseline and 6 months
Change in ridge height
Cone beam Computerized tomography was used to assess ridge height
Time frame: at baseline and 6 months
Biochemical assessment of bone formation
Done by measuring of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) as a bone marker by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
Time frame: at 3 months
