Can a new guide make Front-Tooth implants more precise?
NCT ID NCT07760974
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial compares two types of surgical guides used when placing dental implants immediately after extracting a front upper tooth. One is a conventional guide, and the other is a modified SocketFit guide designed to stay more stable after the tooth is removed. The study will measure how accurately the implant ends up compared to the planned position, using 3D imaging. The goal is to see if the SocketFit guide improves precision, which could lead to better outcomes for people needing front-tooth implants.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SocketFit static surgical guide (a device with a socket-engaging extension) compared with a conventional static surgical guide
- What this could lead to
- If the SocketFit guide proves more accurate, it could make immediate front-tooth implants more precise and predictable, potentially improving long-term outcomes and aesthetics.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (26 participants), so results may not apply broadly. The new guide might not improve accuracy enough to justify its use, and any surgical procedure carries risks like infection or implant failure.
