When preparing an implant site, clinicians often base their assessment of the bone on subjective tactile and visual cues. This assessment is used to plan the surgical procedure for site preparation, including how many drilling steps will be used. The subjective nature of bone evaluation, consequently, results in poor reproducibility and may lead to under or over preparation of the site. Recently, an unconventional site preparation protocol was developed in which the decision of which instruments to use is dictated by insertion torque of the novel site preparation instrument (OsseoShaper ™ , Nobel Biocare AB, Gothenburg, Sweden). The aim of this study was to quantify the correlation of the site preparation torques of the new instrument with bone density and maximum implant insertion torques. In vitro and in vivo data showed strong linear correlation between site preparation torque and density and resulted in reliable implant insertion torques, respectively. From our analysis, we conclude that this new instrument and protocol has the potential to eliminate the need for additional intraoperative bone evaluation and may reduce the risk of inadequate preparation of the site due to the ability to serve as a predictor of the final implant insertion torque.profile combined with a cutting flute and unconventional site preparation protocol. Following the pilot drill, the osteotomy is shaped with an implant-specific single use instrument, OsseoShaper1 (OS1), without irrigation at low speed (25-100 rpm) using a motorized drill unit with a maximum torque setting of 40 Ncm (Figure 1). The OS1 torque, measured by a drill unit with real-time torque display, determines the workflow for implant placement. If the OS1 achieves the desired depth and position with less than 40 Ncm, the implant can be placed. If the OS1 torque reaches 40 Ncm before it reaches the planned position, the next instrument should be used to further shape the implant site.
