NCT07737197

Overview

NCT ID: NCT07737197
Lead Sponsor: Cairo UniversityOTHER
Official Title: Accuracy of Single Drill Versus Full Sequence Computer Guidance in Dental Implant Placement
Brief 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.

Full Sequence Computer GuidanceExperimental

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.

Single Drill / Pilot-Guided Computer GuidanceActive Comparator

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
