This study compares two types of surgical guides used to place dental implants: one made with a 3D printer and one milled from a solid block. If you're missing one to four teeth and have healthy healed gums and bone, this trial may help determine which guide works best.
This study tests a new way to place dental implants in people who need a full set of replacement teeth. It compares the accuracy of a method that uses a metal guide vs. one without it, to see if the simpler method works just as well.
This study compares two types of 3D-printed guides used during dental implant placement in the front of the mouth. The goal is to see if a new guide (SocketFit) is more accurate than the standard one, which could lead to better implant positioning and outcomes.
This study compares two types of surgical guides (metallic and resin-based) to help dentists place zygomatic implants—special dental anchors used when the upper jaw bone is severely worn down. The goal is to see which guide method places these implants more accurately.
This study tests different computer software programs used to plan dental implant surgery. It aims to see which software is most accurate, which could lead to better outcomes for patients needing implants.
This study compares two different 3D-printed guides used during dental implant surgery. If you are missing several teeth in your lower jaw, this trial may help your dentist place implants more precisely.
