Robotic vs. guided surgery for dental implants
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are missing teeth only on one side of your lower jaw, in the back area
- You have natural teeth or solid bridges/crowns in front of the gap that can anchor a surgical guide
- Your jaw bone is thick enough (at least 8mm tall and 5mm wide) to place an implant without major bone grafting
- You don't have untreated gum disease, active mouth infections, or uncontrolled health conditions like diabetes
- You can open your mouth wide enough (at least 35mm between upper and lower front teeth) for surgical tools

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This study compares two methods of placing dental implants: one uses a custom guide to plan the entire surgery, the other uses a guide only for part of the procedure. It aims to see which approach places the implant more accurately, especially for people with challenging jawbone conditions.
This trial is testing a way to use 3D-printed guides to place dental implants more accurately. It may be a good option for people who are missing one or more teeth and have good oral health.
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 types of guided surgery methods for placing dental implants in the back of the jaw (where there are missing teeth). It aims to find which technique works better for patients who need implants in that area.
