Overview
Brief Summary
Placement of dental implants via the freehand approach may result in damage to the surrounding critical anatomy of undiscordant prosthetic position. A real-time navigational stereotaxic surgical instrument (navigation) may help to alleviate these undesired outcomes in the freehand approach.
All patients received implants in the right and left the side of their upper jaws via the random use of the navigation or the freehand approach. Positional deviations between the planned and placed implants were measured on a final tomographic image matched to the baseline.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change between the planned and placed implant positions
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Deviations between the planned and placed implants will be measured by matching the pre- and post-op tomographic images.
Secondary Outcomes
- Damage to the surrounding critical anatomy(1 day (On the day of surgery).)
