NCT ID NCT07512258
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study compares two common dental implant placement methods to see which is more accurate and leads to better healing. Forty adults needing a single tooth implant will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. Researchers will track implant accuracy, bone loss, and patient-reported pain and swelling for up to 12 months.
