Surgeons' Prediction of Dental Surgery Complications and the Influence of Patient Characteristics: Development of an AI Model
Denmark3,000 participantsStarted 2026-04-01
Plain-language summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn how to better predict and prevent intra- and postoperative complications in oral surgery in adult patients referred for oral surgical procedures. The study aims to understand how accurately surgeons can foresee complications and which patient, tooth, and surgery related factors influence the outcomes.
The research questions are:
* What is the incidence of intra and postoperative complications in oral surgery?
* Which factors predict these complications, and how accurately can surgeons anticipate them?
* Can the development of an AI tool reduce postoperative complications?
Participants will:
* Receive standard oral surgery treatment at a private referral clinic (Specialtandlægerne Sjælland).
* Have clinical information collected about their procedure, medical history, and personal characteristics (including anxiety level).
* Conduct a short questionnaire, the STAI-6 and the I-PANAS-SF.
* Have the surgeon record their prediction of whether complications are expected.
* Be followed in the postoperative lapse to document whether complications occur after surgery.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients reffered from a general dentist practicioner for the following surgeries: third molar removal, apicoectomy, dental implant placement.
* Patients \>15 years of age
* A valid diagnosis prior to the surgery
* Cases with fully completed questionnaires.
Exclusion Criteria
* Pathological condition requiring hospital refferal
* Complications following re-surgery
* Re-assesment of the diagnosis from the general dentist practicioner
Specific for apical surgery:
* Root fracture present.
* Buccal bone height \<3mm.
Specific for third molar removal:
\- if coronectomy is conducted instead of total root removal.
Specific for dental implant:
* if an implant has been placed before in the same region of interest.
* Health conditions were dental implants are contraindicated.
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?

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?
