In traditional dental implant surgery, a sequential drilling strategy is used to ensure primary implant stability through press-fit.
This technique may cause a certain degree of stress to the bone surrounding the implant. Other surgical procedures have been proposed.
One of these methods involves implementing the Peripheral-Bone-Removal (PBR) protocol and relies on the morphological connection between the implant and the adjacent bone.
This concept has been newly introduced. This approach is hypothesised to reduce bone damage and promote bone repair.
A fresh concept has been developed that leverages the Peripheral Bone Removal (PBR) surgical procedure. It creates a direct physical connection between the implant and the nearby bone.

This method primarily depends on the implant thread to form a robust bond with the adjacent bone. The efficacy of this strategy has not been compared to the generally embraced conventional approach.
The objective of this study is to assess the immediate treatment results of the PBR surgical procedure using a morphologic contact-based implant and sequential drilling surgery with a press-fit based implant.
The utilisation of the minimally invasive socket preparation technique, namely the PBR protocol, along with the morphologic contact concept, appears to enhance the overall success of dental implant treatment by improving bone quality and implant durability.
