Robot versus guide for dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of placing dental implants: one uses a surgical robot, and the other uses a static guide (a template) to help the dentist place the implant. The goal is to see which method is more accurate and effective. This may help you decide which approach could work best for your implant surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are missing all of your back teeth on one side of your mouth (upper or lower).
- You have natural teeth or fixed bridges next to the gap to help support the guide.
- A CT scan shows you have enough jawbone (at least 8 mm deep and 5 mm wide) for implants without major bone grafting.
- You do not have uncontrolled gum disease or acute infections in your mouth.
- You have not had radiation to the head or neck, and you are not taking intravenous bisphosphonates.

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.
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 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 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 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 modern techniques for placing a dental implant in the upper front area right after a tooth is removed: a robotic system versus a dynamic navigation system. The goal is to see which method is more accurate, which may help you get a more precise and successful implant placement.
