Summary

This study compares two ways of placing PrimeTaper dental implants: one using a surgical guide (guided) and one without (non-guided). About 100 adults missing one or more teeth will receive implants and be followed for a year to see how many implants survive and stay stable. The goal is to find out if guided surgery leads to better outcomes for immediate tooth replacement.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: PrimeTaper EV dental implant
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that guided surgery improves implant survival and stability, leading to better outcomes for people needing tooth replacements.
What could go wrong: This is a non-randomized study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The implant is already approved, so this is about refining technique, not a breakthrough.
