ABSTRACT
Aim: To compare the mechanical and radiological properties of animal bone after preparation with different surgical protocols (including tissue compaction/
densification)
Materials and Methods: Samples of animal bone tissue (porcine ribs) were prepared according to 4 protocols: osteotomic, compaction with a bone condenser,
slow (50 rpm) and osteocondensation without special burrs. After preparation, the torque was measured and relative radiological density of the bone was
examined using CBCT.
Results: The torque when using the slow protocol (50 rpm) was 35.82 ± 5.10 N×cm (M = 36.48), with the standard osteotomic technique – 37.27 ± 2.14
N×cm (M = 37.40), with the bone condensors – 46.57 ± 2.72 N×cm (M = 46.75) and with osteodensification – 50.61 ± 6.77 N×cm (M = 50.16). The lowest
relative x-ray density of the walls of the implantation channel was when using the osteotomy protocol (1000 rpm) – 372.85 ± 181.01 dHU (M = 374.00), with
the slow protocol – 538.75 ± 167.82 dHU (M = 522.50). Slightly higher values were obtained with the use of bone condensors – 602.18±263.42 dHU (M =
549.00), and the highest was with osteodensification technique – 877.75±226.25 dHU (M = 862.50).
Conclusions: The use of bone condensors and osteodensification techniques (even without special burs) durin: the preparation of the implantation channel
for mini-implants leads to progressive improvement of bone tissue.
