• Patients with a history of full-dose radiotherapy, localized radiotherapy to the head or neck
• Patients requiring long-term high-dose steroid therapy
• Patients who are receiving or have received in the last 3 months medications (e.g., bisphosphonates) that may affect or promote bone metabolism

Static template	The guidance of static template	-

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Three-dimensional implant placement accuracy of apical point	Postoperative day 2±1	The postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was aligned to the preoperative plan in specific software, and the three-dimensional coordinates of the preoperatively planned and actual postoperative implant placement positions were measured separately, from which the three-dimensional distance (in mm) between the apical point of the actual implant and the apical point of the virtual implant was calculated.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Failure rate during implant healing period	Postoperative day 90±7	1. According to the definition of Albrektsson and Zarb in 1986, the healing period is considered successful if the following conditions are met: no loosening of the implant after removal of the upper restoration; no peri-implant radiolucency; no peri-implant bone instability; and no pain. Implant retention was evaluated according to three levels: good osseointegration, poor osseointegration, and implant failure. 2. Implant survival rate = (N total - N failure)/(N total) × 100%.
Three-dimensional implant placement angular accuracy	Postoperative day 2±1	The postoperative CBCT was aligned to the preoperative implant placement plan in specific software to measure the three-dimensional coordinates of the preoperative plan and the actual postoperative implant placement position, respectively, and to calculate the angle (°) between the actual implant and the mid-axis of the virtual implant accordingly.
Operation time	Intraoperative	From the beginning of anesthesia to the complete removal of the static template or navigation reference frame.
Patient subjective satisfaction	Postoperative day 14±1	Evaluating patient satisfaction with the visual analogue scale
Three-dimensional implant placement accuracy of coronal point	Postoperative day 2±1	The postoperative CBCT was aligned to the preoperative plan in specific software, and the three-dimensional coordinates of the preoperatively planned and actual postoperative implant placement positions were measured separately, from which the three-dimensional distance (in mm) between the coronal point of the actual implant and the coronal point of the virtual implant was calculated.
