Metal vs plastic: which guide places cheekbone implants more accurately?
NCT ID NCT07551024
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at people who have lost a lot of bone in their upper jaw and need special cheekbone (zygomatic) implants to support false teeth. Researchers want to see if using a metal surgical guide is more accurate than a plastic one when placing these implants. Each participant will get implants on both sides of their jaw—one side with a metal guide and the other with a plastic guide—so the accuracy can be compared directly.
