Changes in Implant Stability Using Different Site Preparation Techniques: Twist Drills versus Piezosurgery. A Single‐Blinded, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial

Abstract

The findings from this study suggest that ultrasonic implant site preparation results in a limited decrease of ISQ values and in an earlier shifting from a decreasing to an increasing stability pattern, when compared with the traditional drilling technique. From a clinical point of view, implants inserted with the piezoelectric technique demonstrated a short-term clinical success similar to those inserted using twist drills.
