Simplified vs Conventional Drilling Protocol for Implant Placment

Despite the growing interest in these alternative drilling protocols, there is a lack of robust clinical evidence evaluating their long-term effects on MBL. The aim of the present study was therefore, to evaluate the effect of implant site preparation technique (conventional drilling versus simplfied) on change in the marginal bone level and insertion torque.
