Dental implant showdown: old guide vs. High-Tech screen
NCT ID NCT07291336
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests which method is more accurate for placing dental implants: a custom-made guide or a dynamic navigation system that shows the dentist where to drill on a screen. Twenty healthy adults with at least one missing upper tooth will take part. The goal is to see which approach leads to better implant positioning and patient satisfaction.
