Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how accurate fully guided dental implant placement is when performed by experienced versus novice clinicians. It will also study how different types of surgical guides affect the accuracy of implant placement.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the clinician's level of experience affect how closely the dental implant matches the planned position?

Does the type of surgical guide (tooth-supported or mucosa-supported) influence implant placement accuracy?

Researchers will compare the implant accuracy across six groups based on clinician experience and guide type.

Participants will:

Undergo a fully guided dental implant procedure using a 3D-printed surgical guide

Be treated by either an experienced or a novice clinician

Receive follow-up scans to measure how accurately the implant was placed compared to the digital plan

Experienced Clinician - Bilateral Tooth-Supported Guide

Experienced Clinician - Bilateral Tooth-Supported Guide Participants receive fully guided dental implant placement using a bilateral tooth-supported surgical guide. The procedure is performed by an experienced clinician with over 500 guided implant placements.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Fully Guided Dental Implant Placement Using Surgical Guide

Intervention Type DEVICE

All participants will undergo fully guided dental implant placement using a 3D-printed surgical guide (tooth-supported or mucosa-supported). The surgical guide is designed and fabricated based on preoperative CBCT and intraoral scan data. Implant site preparation and fixture insertion are performed entirely through the guide using manufacturer-specific guided surgery kits.

Experienced Clinician - Unilateral Tooth-Supported Guide

Experienced Clinician - Unilateral Tooth-Supported Guide Participants receive fully guided dental implant placement using a unilateral tooth-supported surgical guide. The procedure is conducted by an experienced clinician.

The surgical guide is designed and fabricated based on preoperative CBCT and intraoral scan data. Implant site preparation and fixture insertion are performed entirely through the guide using manufacturer-specific guided surgery kits.

Experienced Clinician - Mucosa-Supported Guide

Participants receive fully guided dental implant placement using a mucosa-supported surgical guide. The procedure is performed by an experienced clinician with extensive experience in guided surgery.

Implant site preparation and fixture insertion are performed entirely through the guide using manufacturer-specific guided surgery kits.

Novice Clinician - Bilateral Tooth-Supported Guide

Participants receive fully guided dental implant placement using a bilateral tooth-supported surgical guide. The procedure is performed by a novice clinician with fewer than 20 guided implant cases and at least one year of general implant experience.
