Fully Guided Dental Implant Placement and Primary Stability

Summary

The precision of dental implant placement is vital for long-term implant success. The surgical guide is designed using advanced 3D imaging techniques allows for a highly accurate simulation of the ideal implant position, angulation, and depth based on the patient's unique anatomy. The aim of the study is to compare implant stability and postoperative pain between guided and freehand surgical implant placement. The research objective is to assess and compare the clinical outcomes of guided surgical implants placement versus conventional freehand implant placement, focusing on primary implant stability, secondary implant stability and postoperative pain. In alignment with this objective, the aim of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes: as implant primary and secondary stability and postoperative pain between guided surgical implant placement and conventional freehand surgical implant placement.

Hypothesis of the study This study hypothesized that guided implant surgery will result in superior implant stability outcome and reduced postoperative pain compared to the freehand technique High light of study. The use of advance technology (machines and software programs) to enhance implant survival and reduce surgical complications associated with implant placement. It is worth noting that, a fully guided implant placement provides flapless surgery and the implant positions were virtually planned based on anatomical and prosthetic considerations. The use of Easy Check Implant Stability Measuring System for measuring primary and secondary implant stability.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

All implant placements were performed exclusively in the maxillary region (upper jaw) to ensure a controlled comparison within the same anatomical area

All implant placements were performed exclusively in the maxillary region (upper jaw) to ensure a controlled comparison within the same anatomical area. The implants used in this study were C-Tech® implants (C-Tech Implant, Italy) with the following dimensions: Diameter: 3.8 mm Length: 11 mm . Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT): To assess bone quality, quantity, and anatomical structures . Digital Intraoral Scans Heron Scanner (USA) to obtain detailed gingival contours, occlusion, and existing teeth. The scan data was exported as an STL file for digital planning. Easy Check Implant Stability Measuring System is used for implant stability measurement, the tapping rod was gently placed in slight contact with the healing abutment, avoiding any axial or lateral pressure, and aligned within 0°-30° relative to the abutment's occlusal surface. If the angle exceeded 30°, the device issued an alert and prevented measurement, ensuring consistent alignment
