Immediate loading of implants inserted in implant beds prepared with conventional or ultrasonic osteotomy in the esthetic zone: Randomized clinical trial with 12-month follow-up.

Purpose: This randomized clinical trial compared 12-month outcomes of narrow platform implants (NP) or regular platform implants (RP) in beds prepared with conventional versus ultrasonic osteotomy and immediately loaded.

Materials And Methods: Patients requiring narrow (3.0 mm) or regular (3.

Stability and marginal bone loss in implants placed using piezoelectric osteotomy versus conventional drilling: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The main objective of this systematic review was to compare primary and secondary implant stability between placement with piezoelectric osteotomy and conventional drilling, comparing marginal bone losses as a secondary objective.

Material And Methods: An electronic search was conducted using PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, and Cochrane Library (Wiley) databases, besides a manual search.

Results: A total of 153 articles were retrieved, 39 from Pubmed, 44 from Scopus, and 70 from the Cochrane Library.
