New study tests if computer guidance helps new dentists place implants more accurately

This study looked at whether using a computer-guided navigation system (X-Guide) helps new dentists place dental implants more accurately than doing it freehand. Sixty patients with missing teeth received implants placed by novice surgeons. The researchers measured how close the final implant position matched the planned position using 3D scans. The goal is to see if technology can improve precision for less experienced surgeons.
