ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different methods for placing dental implants, which are used to replace missing teeth in the back of the mouth. One method uses advanced technology called artificial intelligence (AI) to create a guide for the surgery, while the other uses a traditional approach that combines a 3D scan of the mouth with a digital scan. The goal is to see which method is more accurate in placing the implants.

To participate in this trial, patients need to be at least 18 years old and have missing teeth in the back of their mouth that can be treated with implants. They should also have some healthy teeth that can help support the surgical guide and have enough bone in their jaw for the implant. Additionally, participants must be in good health and free from certain conditions, like smoking or serious dental problems, that could affect their healing. If eligible, participants can expect to undergo an implant placement procedure using one of the two methods being tested. This study is still in the planning stage and has not started recruiting participants yet.
