Abstract The current study was conducted in an attempt to evaluate osseointegration for implants using simvastatin drug versus normal conventional implant technique. The study was performed on twelve implant that were divied into 2 groups, each group contained six implants (simvastatin group and control group). All implants were done using delayed submerged implant insertion technique. group one received simvastatin powder as adjunctive to improve the osseoientgration of the bone surrounding the dental implants, while group two control group with no adjunctive to improve the osseointegration. All patients were followed up clinically and radiographically for osseointegration using cbct two months, and six month postoperatively. The results revealed that the simvastatin group showed statistically low significant increase in the percentage of increase in the mean bone density compared to the control group through the same study intervals. The results revealed also that the simvastatin group showed statistically low significant decrease in the bone height loss than the control group |
