Alveolar ridge expansion is suggested for alveolar crest thicknesses of 3-5 mm. Osseodensification (OD) and screw expansion (SE) techniques have been utilized to expand narrow alveolar ridges (NAR). This study aims to compare the implant stability quotient (ISQ) values of endosteal dental implants (DIs) inserted into NAR via osseodensification versus manual screw expansion.
