ABSTRACT: Introduction
This cadaveric study evaluated the effect of a novel clockwise osseodensification (OD) technique on primary implant stability in low-density bone.Materials and methods
Forty implants were placed in paired sites of nine formalin-fixed human tibiae, comparing OD (n = 20) with standard drilling (SD; n = 20). Primary stability was assessed by maximum insertion torque (IT) and implant stability quotient (ISQ). Postoperative bone-implant interface characteristics were examined using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), periapical radiography, and synchrotron-based x-ray tomographic microscopy (SR-µCT).Results
The OD group showed higher mean ISQ (67.5 ± 6.5) and IT (34.0 ± 6.6 Ncm) values than the SD group (62.9 ± 9.3; 29.5 ± 7.6 Ncm, respective
