Assessing a navigation system for zygomatic implant placement
Accuracy of Dynamic Navigation System on Zygomatic Implant Placement: A Randomized Clinical Trial
This study tests a new navigation system for placing zygomatic implants in people with tooth loss to see if it works better than the traditional method.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the accuracy of a dynamic navigation system for placing zygomatic implants in patients with partial or total tooth loss in the upper jaw. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a navigation group or a control group using the conventional freehand method. Preoperative planning will utilize cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to ensure precise implant placement. After surgery, the accuracy of the implant positions will be assessed by comparing postoperative CBCT scans with the preoperative plans.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults over 18 years old who are partially or totally edentulous in the maxilla and have significant bone atrophy.
Not a fit: Patients with facial bone diseases or systemic conditions that contraindicate oral surgery will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more accurate and safer zygomatic implant placements for patients with significant bone atrophy.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with computer-assisted navigation systems in dental implant placement, indicating potential for success in this approach.
