Straumann Falcon dynamic navigation for guided dental implant placement

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter clinical investigation enrolling about 75 partially edentulous adult patients across four European centers. Each participant will receive preoperative digital planning, implant placement using the Straumann Falcon real-time dynamic navigation system, and a postoperative CBCT to measure deviations between planned and actual implant positions. The main outcomes are angular deviation compared to literature-derived benchmarks for freehand placement and safety measured by adverse device effects. All surgeons are experienced with implants but are trained on the Falcon system immediately prior to participation.
