Brief Summary

**AIM**

·         To evaluate efficacy of osseodensification technique for implant placement in narrow alveolar ridges.

**OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY**

To compare alveolar ridge width before and after implant placement with osseodensification technique using Cone Beam Computed Tomography.

To evaluate the Integrity of alveolar ridge after Osseodensification Technique and Implant Placement Clinically.

To record the Insertion Torque Value after placement of an implant.

To evaluate Soft tissue healing at 2 weeks using Healing index by Landry, Turnbull and Howley

To evaluate the changes in the crestal bone levels  after implant placement immediately and after a period of 6 months using Cone Beam Computed Tomography
