Conditions

Interventions
Procedure: dental implant
Registration Number
NCT06204692
Lead Sponsor
October 6 University
Brief Summary

This study's goal is to evaluate the efficacy of traditional rehabilitation with freehand implant implantation of partly or totally edentulous patients utilizing flapless or mini-flap procedures vs. 3D implant design software and specialized surgical templates.

Detailed Description

Patients with at least 7 mm of height and 4 mm of breadth in their bones, who needed at least two implants to be restored with a single prosthesis, were recruited one after the other. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups in a parallel group trial design. : Group I: consisted of 6 patients where computer guided dental implant placement and Group II: included six people who had dental implants placed manually. A temporary prosthesis was inserted into the implants right away, and four to six months later, a permanent prosthesis took its place.

Implant failures, marginal bone loss, number of therapy sessions, length of treatment, post-surgical pain and swelling, use of painkillers, surgical time, time needed to resolve problems, and patient satisfaction were among the outcome variables evaluated by a blinded, independent assessor. Patients were tracked for a full year.
