This study compares two different ways to place dental implants in people who are missing at least two teeth. It aims to see which method works better for long-term success.
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 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 types of dental implant surfaces to see which helps the implant bond better with the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. It may help you if you need a single front tooth or first premolar replaced.
This trial compares two ways of placing a dental implant along with a bone-grafting procedure to rebuild bone around the implant. It aims to see which method gives better results for people who need a single implant and have a small bone defect on the cheek side.
This study compares two ways of placing dental implants in the back of the jaw. One method uses artificial intelligence (a computer program) to plan the implant position; the other uses a traditional, non-AI approach. The goal is to see if the AI-guided placement is more accurate, which may lead to better results.
