Digital smile makeover: new implant workflow aims for perfect fit
NCT ID NCT07369583
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study tested a fully digital, motion-integrated workflow for placing dental implants in people with no teeth. Twenty adults received implants in both jaws using special protocols (M-4 in the upper jaw, All-on-4 in the lower jaw). The approach used 3D scans and real-time jaw movement data to design custom-fit, one-piece zirconia teeth. The goal was to see if this digital method leads to stable bone levels around the implants.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Monolithic zirconia dental prostheses placed using a motion-integrated digital workflow
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could make full-arch dental implant procedures more precise and personalized, potentially improving fit and long-term outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 20 participants and no control group, so results may not apply to everyone. Long-term success depends on individual healing and bone health.
