AI helps dentists place implants in narrow jawbones
NCT ID NCT06135506
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether artificial intelligence and computer guidance can help dentists place dental implants in people with narrow jawbones. Twenty-two adults with insufficient bone width in the upper front jaw received implants using either AI-assisted or conventional methods. The goal was to see if the AI approach leads to better bone width and height over 9 months.

Inclusion Criteria: * The target population with inadequate bone volume for implant placement due to width insufficiency of maxillary anterior alveolar ridges. * Age ranges from 18-40 years of both sexes. * No gender restrictions were considered for initial screening. * Absence of any complicating systemic condition that may contraindicate surgical procedures and implant placement. * Adequate oral hygiene. * Eligible participants should present good general health and agree to random assignment to any of the two parallel study groups. * Participants had minimum 3 months as post extraction healing period and horizontal maxillary anterior ridge defects with at least bone width of 3 mm and bone height of 13 mm. Exclusion Criteria: * Vertical ridge defect. * Undercut on the labial/buccal side. * Thick cortical bone without cancellous bone inside. * Uncontrolled systematic disorders as, diabetes mellitus, uncontrolled periodontal disease, history of head and neck radiotherapy, smokers, pregnancy, noncompliant patients, allergy to the used medications, uncooperative individuals or those unable to attend the study follow-up appointments.
