What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating two methods for placing dental implants in healthy adults who need at least one tooth replaced in the upper jaw. This study compares a static navigation method, where a prefabricated guide is used based on x-rays and impressions, to a dynamic navigation method, where the implant placement is guided in real time by viewing a screen. The goal is to assess the accuracy of these two implant placement techniques. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will have implants placed using a static implant guide made before surgery. The other group will receive their implant placement using a dynamic navigation system called MiniNavident that guides the procedure live. Both methods are monitored during the surgery to place the implant correctly. During the study, researchers will measure how accurately the implants are placed immediately after surgery. They will also assess patient satisfaction one week after the procedure and record the time taken during the surgery. The study includes healthy adults aged 22 to 60 years and involves follow-up to monitor outcomes related to implant placement accuracy and patient experience.
