Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate two commonly utilized surgical guide protocols to determine dental implant placement accuracy compared to pre-operative computerized planning, post-operative healing and bone levels to 12-months post-placement, and patient assessed post-operative discomfort and healing using a visual acuity scale (VAS).

Conditions

  • Dental Implant

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Pilot Drill Guide (PDG)

Matrix-based pilot drill guides fabricated using casts derived from digital wax ups of the proposed final restoration based upon initial implant planning and will be placed using the standard manufacturer's protocol.

PROCEDURE

Fully Guided (FG)

3-D printed guides fabricated based upon digital wax ups and will be placed using the standard manufacturer's protocol and guided implant placement kits.
