Dental X-Ray breakthrough: predicting implant success before surgery
NCT ID NCT06654518
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether a special 3D X-ray called CBCT, taken before dental implant surgery, can predict how stable the implant will be once placed. 29 patients had their bone density and ridge width measured from the scan. After implant placement, stability was measured using a device that checks how well the implant is anchored. The goal was to see if the pre-surgery scan could reliably forecast implant stability, which could help dentists plan better.
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 help dentists plan implant placements more accurately, reducing the risk of implant failure.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 29 participants. The results may not apply to all patients or implant types.

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 must be free from any systemic conditions that would contraindicate dental implant surgery. 2. Good oral hygiene. 3. Age above 18 years. 4. The planned implant site must have sufficient alveolar bone volume. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who have undergone radiation therapy to the head and neck region within the last 12 months. 2. Uncontrolled diabetes. 3. Patients who underwent dental extractions or bone augmentation at the planned implant site during the last six months in order to guarantee uniform bone maturation. 4. Severe clenching or bruxism is present. 5. Acute infection at the planned implant site. 6. Implant sites requiring a procedure for bone gain.
