Custom 3D printed markers aim to perfect front tooth implants
NCT ID NCT07199153
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a custom 3D printed marker can help dentists place a single front tooth implant more accurately. Ten people with a missing front tooth will get a 3D printed marker made from their scans, which guides the dentist during surgery. After the implant, a CT scan checks how close the actual placement matches the plan. The goal is to see if this method is precise enough for everyday use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 3D printed custom registration marker
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more accurate and reproducible way to place dental implants in the front upper jaw, potentially improving cosmetic outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The marker's accuracy depends on the quality of scans and may not work for all jaw shapes.
