Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients with a posterior edentulous area from the second premolar onwards who are eligible for dental implant placement.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with contraindications such as allergies, neurological symptoms, or infections in the surgical area may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical study is a randomized multicenter trial that evaluates the accuracy of two different guided surgery techniques for placing dental implants in patients with partial edentulism. The study focuses on comparing dento-osseous supported and dento-mucosal supported surgical splints to determine which method yields better results in posterior osseous ridges. Participants will receive dental implants based on the chosen technique, and the outcomes will be assessed for accuracy and effectiveness.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the precision of dental implant placements, leading to better patient outcomes and satisfaction.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with guided surgery techniques for dental implants, indicating that this approach is supported by existing evidence.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients who present to one of the two participating clinics with a posterior edentulous area starting from the second premolar. * Patients in whom the placement of dental implants is not contraindicated. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with hypersensitivities or allergies that contraindicate the intervention. * Presence of orofacial neurological symptoms. * Patients treated with bisphosphonates. * Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or women undergoing contraceptive treatment. * Signs of infection in the surgical area. * Need for unconventional surgical procedures (e.g., split crest, vertical regeneration, block graft). * Lack of patient cooperation.
