Comparing methods for accurate dental implant placement
3 Dimensional Accuracy of Dental Implant Placement: Randomised Controlled Trial Comparing Robotic Assistance, Dynamic Navigation, and Static Guide

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the accuracy of dental implant placement using three different methods: a 3D printed static guide, dynamic navigation, and robotic assistance. Patients requiring a single tooth replacement will undergo digital planning using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and intraoral digital scans. They will be randomly assigned to one of the three treatment modalities, and the accuracy of implant placement will be assessed by comparing the planned position to the actual position post-surgery. Additionally, surgical time and patient satisfaction will be measured, with follow-up assessments conducted over one year.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients with a single missing tooth who have sufficient bone volume and keratinized tissue at the site.
Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, have systemic diseases contraindicating dental implants, or cannot comply with study protocols may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the precision of dental implant placements, leading to improved patient outcomes and satisfaction.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar approaches in improving dental implant accuracy, indicating that this method is not entirely novel but seeks to refine existing techniques.
