This study tests whether a robot can place dental implants more accurately than a computer-guided navigation system in the front upper jaw. Twenty-four adults needing an implant will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. The main goal is to see which approach achieves b…

This study looks at how much denture teeth wear down over two years in people who have no natural teeth. It compares three types of teeth made with modern digital methods: 3D-printed, milled from a block, and standard prefabricated ones. The goal is to see which type resists wear…

This study tests whether shorter dental implants (6.3mm) work as well as standard ones (9mm) for people with low bone height in the upper jaw who need a sinus lift. Thirty-six adults will be randomly assigned to receive one of three implant types. Researchers will track complicat…
