Dental X-Ray breakthrough: predicting implant success before surgery

NCT ID NCT06654518

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at whether a special 3D X-ray called CBCT, taken before dental implant surgery, can predict how stable the implant will be once placed. 29 patients had their bone density and ridge width measured from the scan. After implant placement, stability was measured using a device that checks how well the implant is anchored. The goal was to see if the pre-surgery scan could reliably forecast implant stability, which could help dentists plan better.

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 plan implant placements more accurately, reducing the risk of implant failure.

What could go wrong
