Target Recruitment
20
Inclusion Criteria
  • • Single tooth missing in the maxillary region with D3 (350-850 HU) and D4 (150-350 HU) bone (Sultana et al., 2020).

    • A minimum of 4 mm residual buccolingual bone width at site of implant placement (Koutouzis et al., 2019).

      • The recipient site of the implant should be free from any pathological conditions.
      • No diagnosed bone disease or medication known to affect bone metabolism.
      • Patients who are cooperative, motivated and hygiene conscious.
      • Patients having adequate inter-occlusal space of 8-10 mm (Fernández et al., 2017)
Exclusion Criteria
  • Systemic conditions/diseases that contraindicate surgery (Jarikian et al., 2021).

    • Patients who have any habits that might jeopardize the osseointegration process, such as current smokers (Vollmer et al., 2020).
    • Patients with parafunctional habits that produce overload on implant, such as bruxism and clenching (Sultana et al., 2020).
    • Alcohol or drug abuse (Ibrahim et al., 2020).
    • Pregnant and lactating women.
