Tooth implant in one visit? tiny study tests digital precision
NCT ID NCT07456553
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a fully digital method to remove an impacted canine tooth and place a dental implant with a temporary crown in the same procedure. Five healthy adults with at least two missing teeth took part. The approach used 3D scans and a surgical guide to place the implant, then tracked results for two years. The goal was to see if this method works well and avoids extra bone grafting.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- dental implant and surgical guide
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a faster, more precise way to replace an impacted canine tooth with a single surgery and temporary crown.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small study (5 participants) with no control group, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include implant failure, screw loosening, or bone loss.
