Study summary

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the accuracy of single-drill (pilot-guided) computer-guided implant surgery versus full-sequence computer-guided dental implant placement. The study evaluates clinical and radiographic outcomes, focusing on apical, angular, coronal, and depth linear deviations using post-operative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) superimposition.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Full Sequence Computer Guidance

    Patients undergo dental implant placement using full-sequence computer guidance, where implant site preparation and insertion are accomplished using all sequential drills and metal reducers with the surgical guide.

    Procedure: Full-sequence computer-guided dental implant placement.

  • Active comparator
    Single Drill / Pilot-Guided Computer Guidance

    Patients undergo dental implant placement using first-drill (pilot-guided) computer guidance, where the initial pilot osteotomy is performed through the surgical guide, followed by removal of the guide and completion of the remaining sequential drilling and implant placement freehand.

    Procedure: Single-drill computer-guided dental implant placement

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Apical deviation

    The linear deviation between the planned and actual implant apex position measured on post-operative CBCT superimposition.

    Time frame: Immediately after surgery (Post-operative CBCT).
