Comparing robotic and freehand methods for dental implant placement
The Accuracy of Dental Implant Placement Using Robotic System-assisted Surgery and Freehand Surgery: a Randomized Clinical Trial
NA · Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University · NCT06059573
This study is testing whether using a robotic system for dental implant placement is more accurate than the traditional freehand method for patients with a single missing tooth.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the accuracy of dental implant placement using a robotic system compared to traditional freehand surgery. Patients with single missing teeth will be randomly assigned to either the robotic surgery group or the control group receiving freehand surgery. The accuracy of implant positioning will be assessed by comparing preoperative plans with postoperative results using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). This study seeks to determine if robotic assistance can improve the precision of dental implant placements.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are healthy individuals with a single missing tooth and sufficient alveolar bone for implant placement.
Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant or have systemic diseases that contraindicate dental implants will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more accurate dental implant placements, improving patient outcomes and satisfaction.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have indicated that robotic-assisted surgeries can enhance accuracy, suggesting potential success for this approach.
