During implant osteotomy preparation, the maintenance and preservation of bone leads to enhanced primary mechanical stability and Bone to Implant Contact (BIC), thereby enhancing the secondary stability of implant. The standard implant site preparation techniques are subtractive in nature that use successively increasing‐diameter drills rotating in a clockwise direction under copious irrigation to excavate bone and prepare the implant bed, but recently a new non‐subtractive drilling technique, Osseodensification (OD), was introduced where a specially designed drills rotate in an counter clockwise direction compacting bone at the osteotomy walls allowing more intimate engagement of the implant with the osteotomy site and increasing the primary stability. It is essential to have sufficient bone bulk and density at the implant site in order to achieve good bone‐to‐implant contact and primary stability, which are crucial for osseointegration. The main concept of OD technique is that the drill designing creates an environment which enhances the initial primary stability through densification of the osteotomy site walls by means of auto grafting of bone.
