A comparative clinical study on 16 patients with Type IV bone, divided into two groups (n=8): implants placed using Densah burs only versus Densah burs combined with laser bio stimulation, to evaluate implant stability and healing.
This study was designed as a comparative clinical trial involving two groups of patients receiving dental implants. A total of 16 patients are included, divided equally into two groups (n=8 each). * Group 1: Implant placement using Densah burs only. * Group 2: Implant placement using Densah burs combined with laser bio stimulation. Both groups were selected with Type IV bone

immediate primary implant stability
Immediate primary implant stability was assessed through the measurement of insertion torque. The unit of measurement is (N.cm)
Time frame: immediately
Implant stability and ossification
After 6 months following up it was measured clinically using osstell
Time frame: 6 months follow up
Modified Plaque Index
Recorded at 4 surfaces per implant (Mesial, distal, buccal \& lingual) and expressed as Mean value With scoring (0-3) 0= No Plaque, 1= plaque detected by probe, 2= visible plaque, 3= abundant plaque.
Time frame: after 12 months following up.
Probing depth
PD measured at 6 sites per implant using a calibrated periodontal probe and expressed in mm (mean value).
Time frame: after 12 months following up.
Modified gingival index
MGI assessed at four sites per implant and averaged. Scoring (0-3); 0= normal, 1= mild inflammation, 2= moderate inflammation, 3= severe bleeding tendency.
Time frame: after 12 months following up.
