Digital Eye-assisted bone density guides site drilling for a single dental implant

Official title: SITE SPECIFIC DRILLING PROTOCOL BASED ON DIGITAL EYE®-ASSISTED BONE DENSITY CLASSIFICATION AND PRIMARY DENTAL IMPLANT STABILITY. SINGLE- ARM PROSPECTIVE CLINICAL STUDY

Run by King Abdullah University Hospital · NCT07899606 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether using the Digital Eye bone-density assessment to guide drilling improves primary implant stability in adults needing one dental implant in a healed premolar or molar site.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) requiring a single dental implant in a healed premolar or molar site with sufficient bone and no systemic contraindications.

Probably not a fit

Patients with poor bone quality or need for bone augmentation, or those with conditions excluded by criteria, may not see a benefit.

What this trial studies

This prospective, single-arm study evaluates a site-specific bone-density classification and software-guided drilling protocol for placing a single dental implant. It uses the R2GATE Digital EYE feature integrated with CBCT and intraoral scans to create a 3D model for prosthetically guided planning. The approach aims to tailor drilling steps to local bone characteristics and to measure immediate implant stability with MEGA ISQ and insertion torque, informing whether the digital workflow enhances primary stability. Eligible participants are adults without systemic contraindications to surgery, with adequate bone at a single edentulous site and favorable periodontal health, who smoke minimally or not at all. The study seeks to determine the clinical applicability of this site-specific approach and its potential impact on implant planning and outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience improved primary stability and potentially better implant success due to more precise site preparation.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research in targeted imaging-guided drilling has shown promise in improving implant planning, but this specific site-specific Digital Eye–assisted approach is relatively novel.

Patient recruitment was based on the following inclusion and exclusion criteria:

Inclusion Criteria

Patients were included if they met the following criteria:

1. Age ≥18 years.
2. Absence of systemic conditions contraindicating implant surgery.
3. Non-smokers or light smokers (less than 10 Cig/Day).
4. healthy and stable periodontal tissues.
5. Having a single tooth bounded edentulous area.
6. Availability of sufficient bone height and width to allow implant placement without the need for simultaneous or staged bone augmentation procedures as evaluated on CBCT
7. Provision of written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria

Patients were excluded if any of the following conditions were present:

1. Local or systemic infection at the time of implant placement.
2. Metabolic or osseous diseases affecting bone metabolism, including osteoporosis and osteopetrosis.
3. Renal disease, oncologic disease, or disorders affecting calcium metabolism.
4. Benign or malignant pathology involving the maxillary or mandibular bones.
5. Previous implant or prosthetic treatment at the study site.
