Researchers are evaluating the Straumann40 Dynamic Navigation System (Falcon), a real-time guidance device designed to assist surgeons during dental implant placement in patients who have lost some of their teeth. This prospective, multicenter, multinational clinical study aims to assess whether using Falcon results in safe and accurate implant positioning compared to traditional freehand methods. Approximately 75 adult patients who are partially edentulous will participate across four European centers. Participants will undergo preoperative planning followed by dental implant surgery using the Falcon system, which combines an optical camera, reference markers, and software to provide interactive, real-time visualization of dental instruments. Each patient will receive one to three implants placed with this system. After surgery, a specialized post-operative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan will be performed to measure how closely the actual implant positions match the planned targets, using low-dose protocols to minimize radiation exposure. During the study, researchers will monitor implant placement accuracy by measuring angular deviations immediately after surgery and evaluate safety by tracking any serious device-related adverse effects. Additional outcomes include positional accuracy at different implant parts, procedure duration, and surgeon satisfaction. The study will last about 12 months, with oversight from a Safety Monitoring Board to ensure participant safety and to support regulatory clearance and clinical adoption of the Falcon system.
