Zygomatic Implant Placement Accuracy: Metallic vs Resin Guides
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have severe bone loss in your upper jaw, usually from trauma, disease, or previous surgery
- You need zygomatic implants to support a fixed dental bridge or denture
- You can open your mouth wide enough for the implant placement procedure
- You are willing to sign consent and attend follow-up appointments
- You do not have uncontrolled health conditions like diabetes that affect healing

This study compares two surgical methods to cover zygomatic implants (special anchor posts for teeth) in patients with severe jawbone loss. Researchers will measure how much soft tissue (gum and fat) builds up over the implants to see which method produces better, longer-lasting results.
This study tests a new surgical technique for placing cheekbone implants (zygomatic implants) in people who have severe bone loss in the upper back teeth area. The new method may help place the implant more securely and could be an option if regular implants are not possible.
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 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 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.
This trial compares two surgical techniques using tissue from the cheek or the roof of the mouth to improve gum health around special implants placed in the cheekbone. It may be an option if you have severe bone loss in your upper jaw and need implants but don't have enough bone for standard ones.
