Patterns of tissue remodeling after placement of ITI dental implants using an osteotome technique: a longitudinal radiographic case cohort study.

The aim of this prospective study was to document radiographically tissue remodeling patterns around ITI implants placed according to an osteotome technique. In 19 consecutive patients from a private practice, 25 implants of the ITI Dental Implant System were placed subjacent to the sinus floor. Implant beds were pre-prepared with pilot drills and/or using the Summers Osteotome Kit.
