First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a fully digital approach to placing and loading dental implants in people aged 65 and older who need a tooth extracted. Using 3D imaging and computer-guided surgery, the implant is placed and a temporary tooth is attached within 48 hours. Researchers will track implant survival, bone changes, and patient satisfaction over 12 months to see if this method is reliable for older adults.
