State of the art of techniques and instruments used to obtain primary stability in osseointegratable implants

Resumo

The drills used in the osseodensification (OD) technique have a short clinical and scientific history, with little information in the literature regarding the actual bone compaction achieved, in relation to the different designers and methodologies of each system. Objective. This integrative literature review aimed to discuss the state of the art of techniques and instruments used to obtain primary stability in osseointegrated implants. Materials and methods. Patent applications and works were selected from the scientific research bases of Scielo, Pubmed, lilacs, Google Scholar, Google patents and books, using the key words, in Portuguese and English: “primary stability”, “bone densification”, “osseodensification” and “bone implant contact”. Results. A total of seventy-seven articles were compiled, which had information on the techniques and instruments used to obtain primary stability in osseointegrable implant surgeries. Conclusion. Osseodensification suggested advantages over other bone densification techniques, such as ease of insertion of instruments and obtaining bone-implant contact with greater bone density. However, further studies are needed to enable longitudinal evaluations in order to verify the success of osseointegrated implants installed using this technique.
