ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different techniques for placing dental implants in patients who have lost teeth in the back part of their mouth. The researchers want to find out which technique is more accurate when placing implants, using special guides that help the dentist position the implants correctly. This study will involve multiple clinics and is currently recruiting participants.

To be eligible for the trial, you should be between 65 and 74 years old and have missing teeth in the back of your mouth, starting from the second premolar. It's important that you do not have any conditions or allergies that would prevent the dental procedure, and that you are not pregnant or breastfeeding. If you choose to participate, you'll receive one of the two guided surgery techniques, and you will help researchers learn more about the best ways to place dental implants. Your involvement could contribute to better dental care for others in the future!
