About this trial
Research is to compare and evaluate the primary and secondary implant stability, healing of the soft tissue around UV activated implants and conventional implants.

At east above 18 years of age
Patients who needs replacement for at least 2 missing teeth in the posterior region of mandible
Adequate bone volume to accommodate planned dental implants
Patients who will comply with oral health care instructions and necessary visits
Disqualifiers
General contraindications to dental implant treatment ( uncontrolled diabetes, severe cardiovascular or infectious disease)
Intravenous and oral bisphosphonate therapy
Unwillingness to return for the follow up examinations
Smokers
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
conventional implant
Procedure/SurgeryA full thickness mucoperiosteal flap was elevated under local anesthesia, osteotomy sites were prepared according to manufacturer's instructions and parallel pin was used to confirm position and angulation of osteotomy site. Conventional implant placement was done on one side. Resonance frequency analysis instrument was used to measure Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) and check the primary stability of the implant. The surgical wound closure was done with mattress and single interrupted sutures, using 4-0 vicryl sutures.
UV implant
Procedure/SurgeryA full thickness mucoperiosteal flap was elevated under local anesthesia and osteotomy sites were prepared according to manufacturer's instructions. Parallel pin was used to confirm position and angulation of osteotomy site. UV implant was activated using UV Activator2 and placed in another site. Resonance frequency analysis instrument was used to measure Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) and primary stability of the implant was measured. The surgical wound closure was done with mattress and single interrupted sutures, using 4-0 vicryl sutures.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Implant stability using Resonance Frequency Analysis
to measure primary and secondary stability
Secondary outcomes
Marginal bone loss using RVG with grid
to measure marginal bone level
Soft tissue healing
soft tissue healing to be assessed using Landry Turnbull and Howley Healing Index. Soft tissue healing will be scored from 1 to 5, where score 1 is very poor and 5 is excellent.
