Efficacy of Bone Track Drill in Accurate Positioning of Immediate Implant in Anterior Zone

Abstract

Objective: evaluation of efficacy of Bone Track Drill in accurate positioning of immediate dental implant in anterior zone.

Patients and methods: the accuracy of immediate implant positioning in anterior zone is determined by using multiple measurements comparing the position of planned virtual implant in pre-operative CBCT by actual implant position in post-operative CBCT , those measurements were applied to two groups of  twenty implants for patients eligible for immediate implant in upper anterior zone,  a study group of ten implants  in which Bone Track was used in addition to usual twisted drills, and control group of ten implants in which only usual twisted drills was used

Results: Regarding the measurements used in this study there was no statistically remarkable difference between the position of virtual and actual implants for both study and control group.

Conclusion: The accuracy of immediate implant positioning using Bone Track Drill with usual twisted drills in study group was similar to using only usual twisted drills in control group
