Robot vs. navigation for front tooth implants: a study
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two high-tech methods (a robot and a computer-guided system) for placing a dental implant immediately after removing a front tooth in the upper jaw. The goal is to see which approach is more accurate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and in good general health.
- You need to replace one or more upper front teeth that cannot be saved.
- The bone on the front (lip side) of the tooth socket is intact.
- There is no active infection in the extraction area.
- The tooth socket has at least 3 to 5 mm of bone at the bottom.
- You are not a heavy smoker (less than 20 cigarettes per day) and have not quit smoking within the last 5 years.

This study compares two methods for placing dental implants in the back of your mouth: one using a surgical robot and one using a static (non-moving) guide. Both aim to make implant placement more precise and predictable.
This trial compares two methods for placing dental implants in the upper jaw: dynamic navigation (real-time guidance) versus static navigation (using a surgical guide). It aims to see which technique is more accurate for people missing one tooth between the right and left second premolars.
This trial tests whether a dynamic navigation system helps place dental implants more accurately for people who need a full set of upper or lower teeth. If you are missing most or all of your teeth and are generally healthy, this study may be for you.
This trial tests whether using artificial intelligence (AI) to plan dental implant placement is more accurate than the usual method. It may help people who need a dental implant in the back of the mouth.
This trial tests two ways to place a dental implant right after pulling a front tooth that can't be saved. One method keeps a small piece of the tooth root (called a socket shield) and places a temporary crown right away. The other method waits a few months before placing the implant.
This trial studies a robot-guided technique to place implants in the upper jaw using cheek-bone support, without making large gum flaps. It may help people who have severe bone loss in the upper jaw by improving how implants are placed after missing teeth or jaw injuries/surgery.
