To study the osseointegration of dental implants placed in Beagle dogs using an adapted surgical technique and to compare it with conventional method by estimating implant stability by Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) Dental implants were placed bilaterally in the mandible of Beagle dogs using press-fit as well as undersized implant bed preparation technique. Assessment of primary stability was carried out 0 day, 2weeks and 12weeks after implantation using the RFA method, and Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) values were recorded. At the time of implant installation (day 0) the mean ISQ values were 64.41 ± 4.86 for the press-fit and 74.13 ± 4.47 for the implants inserted with the undersized preparation. The difference was found to be statistically significant (p<0.01). The ISQ values after 2 weeks and 12 weeks also showed similar trend however, these differences were not statistically significant (p> 0.05). No significant decreases were found in the ISQ value of the press-fit and undersized implants methods as compared to the day 0 (p> 0.05). The results of this study showed that the undersized implant bed preparation may significantly improve the primary stability which may help in a better osseointegration. This method can be used in compromised bone to achieve better osseointegration.
