Clinical Trial Summary

Proper implant position has a significant impact in esthetic and functional outcomes of implant-supported restorations. Computer-assisted template-based implant placement (guided surgery) have become increasingly popular due to improved planning and the higher transfer accuracy of the virtual plan to the surgical site compared with freehand insertion or freehand final drilling. Digital impressions replace the need for traditional materials that can be inconvenient and messy for patients. To the best of our knowledge, at the time of planning this study, there were no published RCTs evaluating a fully digital approach for computer-assisted template-based implant placement.

The aim of the present study is to compare early implant failure, template-related complications, and virtual planning accuracy of computer-assisted template-based implant placement using conventional impression and scan model or digital impression.

The null hypothesis is that there will be no difference between these interventions.
