Titanium frameworks provided many advantages as their biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, relatively lower weight and high mechanical properties as well as avoiding the casting errors and technique sensitivity

Marginal bone loss
Marginal bone loss around each dental implant using parallel technique in digital periodical radiographs which will be measured in mm from the crestal bone level at the implant platform.
Time frame: 12 months at intervals (0,3,6,9and 12 months)
Bone density
Bone density around dental implants will be measured using digora digital radiographs which will be measured in hounsfield units.
Time frame: 12 months at intervals (0,3,6,9and 12 months)
