Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate and compare the efficiency of piezoelectric device for implant site preparation clinically and radiographically. Materials and methods: The study included 12 patients divided into two groups. The group A received implants prepared with the conventional drills (CDs), while, group B, the piezoelectric devices (PEDs) were used. The stability of implant was measured, immediately, at 2 months, and 4 months after the implant insertion. Also, the drilling time was recorded. While, the Marginal bone loss (MBL) and Bone mineral density (BMD) were recorded immediately, at 3, and 6 months after implant insertion. Results: Group …
