Versah Osseodensification – Preserves the Bone!
The Densah ® Bur technology is based on a novel biomechanical bone preparation technique called“ osseodensification.” Unlike traditional dental drilling techniques, osseodensification does not excavate bone tissue. Rather, bone tissue is simultaneously compacted and auto-grafted in outwardly expanding directions from the osteotomy.
When a Densah ® Bur is rotated at high speed in a reversed, non-cutting direction with steady external irrigation, a strong and dense layer of bone tissue is formed along the walls and base of the osteotomy. Dense compacted bone tissue produces stronger purchase for your favorite dental implant and may facilitate faster healing.

What are the reasons for using Densah drills? According to research, Densah ® drills have several potential advantages: The drills can be used in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. When rotating clockwise( CW), the drills cut and remove bone similar to regular implant drills. When rotated counterclockwise( CCW), the drills offer additional opportunities for bone preservation and densification. Unlike traditional implant drilling methods that remove bone, Densah ® drills preserve bone structure by compacting bone particles into surrounding trabecular bone when drilling counterclockwise( CCW)( Lahens 2016, Huwais 2017, Ibrahim 2024). In suitable situations, bone expansion can even be achieved, especially around the implant shoulder( Frizzera 2022).
Bone preservation and osseodensification result in a denser bone structure around the implant and increase bone-to-implant contact( BIC), which in turn improves primary stability and promotes better osseointegration of implants( Lahens 2016, Huwais 2017, Ibrahim 2024).
These features make Densah ® drills an excellent addition to softer bone implantations. They also improve the success of immediate implantations. I have personally used these drills for traditional implantations as well, as their cutting properties and tactile sensation are very good.

Is there a particular implant brand or model that works well with Densah ® drills? These drills work well with all implants. That’ s one of the major advantages. Densah ® drills come in different sizes and shapes, allowing for variation in osteotomies. This makes my work easier as I can implement multiple implant brands and models with the same set of instruments.
Could I use my own implant brand drills counterclockwise to compact bone? One can try anything, but I wouldn’ t recommend it and you and your patient wouldn’ t be happy with the result. Densah ® drills are specifically designed for osseodensification. When used counterclockwise, they do not remove bone; instead, they compact it due to their design, effectively cooling the area at the same time( Jimbo 2014, Huwais 2015). Traditional drills are not designed for this type of use.
When bone is not removed but compacted, aren’ t you concerned about bone overheating? Research shows that counterclockwise or clockwise Densah ® drilling does not produce more heat than traditional drills( Trisi 2016, Huwais 2017, Soldatos 2022). Due to the shape of the drills, when drilling counterclockwise, fluid flows to
