NCT ID NCT06404385
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 27 people who needed dental implants in the back of their mouth. Researchers compared two types of surgical guides—one made the traditional way and one made with a computer (CAD-CAM)—to see which one placed implants more accurately. They measured how far the actual implant position was from the planned position using 3D scans.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help dentists choose the most accurate guide for placing dental implants, potentially improving implant success and reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 27 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. The study measures accuracy but does not test long-term implant success or patient satisfaction.
