To Evaluate and Compare Bone Density After Using Two Commercially Available Bone Graft Materials During Immediate Implant Placement: An In Vivo Study

Background: Tooth extraction leads to alveolar bone loss, affecting implant outcomes. Bone grafting during immediate implant placement helps maintain bone volume and density. Aim: To evaluate and compare peri-implant bone density using two bone graft materials during immediate implant placement. Materials and Methods: An in vivo study was conducted on 36 patients divided into three groups: Group A (Control), Group B (Bio-Oss xenograft), Group C (NovaBone putty). CBCT scans were taken pre-operatively, and at 6 and 12 months. Bone density was measured in Hounsfield units. Results: All implants showed 100% survival. Grafted groups showed significantly higher bone density at 6 and 12 months. Bio-Oss showed highest values, followed by NovaBone. Conclusion: Bone grafting improves peri-implant bone density. Bio-Oss performed better, while NovaBone also showed satisfactory results.
