NCT03814655

Brief Summary

The primary aim of the present study is to compare the accuracy of a full digital workflow for dental implants insertion to a partially digital workflow, for a limited edentulous space (1 to 3 dental units), in the maxilla or mandible.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Accuracy of dental implant insertion

    Accuracy is described, by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 5725-1, through the use of two parameters: trueness and precision. Trueness refers to the deviation between the actual dimension of the measured object and the resulting measurement, while precision indicates how closely repeated the measurements in a set are.

Study Arms (2)

Full digital workflow

EXPERIMENTAL

1. Intraoral scan of the partially edentulous site, antagonists and occlusion registration. Radiopaque tray customization over the partially edentulous arch. 2. CBCT with customized radiopaque tray. 3. Merging files in R2 Gate software and implant planning. 4. Guided implant insertion with immediate loading, if possible. Megagen dental implants will be inserted. 5. Digital impression for final screw-retained crown/bridge. 6. Assessment of accuracy by comparing stl files (planned and postimplant insertion).

Procedure: Full digital workflow

Partially digital workflow

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

1. Impression of the edentulous arch and antagonist, occlusion registration. Radiopaque tray customization over the edentulous arch. 2. CBCT with customized radiopaque tray. 3. Stone models alone, maximum intercuspal position and customized radiopaque tray will be scanned using a desktop scanner. 4. Merging files (CBCT and model stl) in R2 Gate software and implant planning. 5. Guided implant insertion with immediate loading, if possible. Megagen dental implants will be inserted. 6. Classic impression in customized tray with Impregum. 7. Functional models will be scanned using the same desktop scanner. 8. Final screw-retained crown/bridge manufacturing. 9. Assessment of accuracy by comparing stl files (planned and postimplant insertion).

Procedure: Partially digital workflow

Interventions

Dental implants will be inserted usig a surgical guide performed after prosthetically driven treatment planning. The workflow will be full digital.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 99 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Kennedy Class III partially edentulism with 3 or less missing teeth,
  • Good general health with no contraindications for implant surgery,
  • Acceptance of dental implant treatment,
  • Acceptance of 1 or 2 CBCTs.

You may not qualify if:
