What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to assess the effectiveness of dynamic navigation technology in the placement of full-arch dental implants for patients with complete maxillary edentulism. It will analyze the anatomical features of the anterior maxillary bone using CBCT imaging to guide the placement of nasopalatine, trans-sinus, and trans-nasal implants. The study will evaluate the accuracy of these implant placements and their clinical effectiveness in rehabilitating patients with significant bone resorption. The trial will take place from 2024 to 2027 at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more precise and effective dental implant placements, improving rehabilitation outcomes for patients with edentulous maxilla.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with dynamic navigation in dental implant placement, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
