Accuracy of Fully Guided Dental Implant Placement by Experienced and Novice Clinicians Using Different Surgical Guides

Egypt54 participantsStarted 2025-05-01

Plain-language summary

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 years or older * Clinical situation suitable for dental implant placement as judged by the examining physician or principal investigator * Adequate soft and hard tissue conditions for implant placement * Adequate occlusion in the implant area * Sufficient bone volume to place the implant without bone augmentation (i.e., at least 2 mm of bone circumferentially around the implant site based on preoperative CBCT) Exclusion Criteria: * Major systemic diseases (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, immunosuppressive conditions) * Untreated or uncontrolled dental caries * Active periodontal disease * Requirement for bone augmentation or sinus lift in the implant area * Current pregnancy * Current smoker (defined as \>10 cigarettes per day) * Noncompliance or inability to follow study protocols * Known allergies to materials used in the implant system or medications administered

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
