AI-Assisted jawbone widening shows promise for dental implants
NCT ID NCT06887595
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested two ways to widen a narrow lower jawbone so dental implants can be placed. One method used AI and computer guidance to make tiny holes in the bone, while the other did the same procedure by hand. The goal was to see which approach is safer and more effective. Twenty-two people with thin jawbones took part, and the results will help dentists choose the best technique.
