Artificial intelligence could help dental implants fit better
NCT ID NCT07657910
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether artificial intelligence can help create dental implants that distribute bite force more evenly. Researchers will scan the mouths of 15 people missing lower back teeth, use AI to optimize the bite, and then check the contact points with a special sensor. The goal is to see if AI-designed implants lead to a more balanced bite compared to standard methods.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to more comfortable and longer-lasting dental implants by ensuring an even bite.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The AI tool may not perform better than standard methods.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with a unilateral mandibular distal extension area (Kennedy Class II partially edentulous mandibular arch) and who are indicated for the insertion of 2 implants. 2. Fully dentate opposing maxillary arch or restored with a suitable, well constructed fixed prosthesis. 3. The remaining teeth should be in good periodontal health, with no signs of inflammation or movement. 4. The edentulous area should be covered by a healthy, firm mucoperiosteum, with no or minimal tissue undercut. 5. Patient should be with class I occlusion. 6. No occlusal disorder; stable jaw relation. 7. No TMD signs or symptoms. 8. Patients should be in generally good health and free of systemic conditions that can affect the implant treatment, such as diabetes mellitus. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with psychological or mental disorders. 2. Patients with insufficient interarch space. 3. Patients with parafunctional habits, such as bruxism. 4. After the healing phase and exactly before the prosthetic phase, if the inserted implants showed any signs of peri-implantitis or aggressive crestal bone resorption, then this case will be excluded and replaced with another case.
