Computer Guided Versus Freehand Dental Implant Surgery

Overview

This study's goal is to evaluate the efficacy of traditional rehabilitation with freehand implant implantation of partly or totally edentulous patients utilizing flapless or mini-flap procedures vs. 3D implant design software and specialized surgical templates.

Patients with at least 7 mm of height and 4 mm of breadth in their bones, who needed at least two implants to be restored with a single prosthesis, were recruited one after the other. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups in a parallel group trial design. : Group I: consisted of 6 patients where computer guided dental implant placement and Group II: included six people who had dental implants placed manually. A temporary prosthesis was inserted into the implants right away, and four to six months later, a permanent prosthesis took its place. Implant failures, marginal bone loss, number of therapy sessions, length of treatment, post-surgical pain and swelling, use of painkillers, surgical time, time needed to resolve problems, and patient satisfaction were among the outcome variables evaluated by a blinded, independent assessor. Patients were tracked for a full year.
