Conditions

Health Condition 1: - Health Condition 2: K068- Other specified disorders of gingiva and edentulous alveolar ridge

Interventions

Intervention1: static pilot guide: Static pilot guide used for the initial pilot drill for single missing tooth implant placement based on pre-surgical CBCT implant placement planning ,day 1, implant

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Healthy patients (21-65 years) and/or patients with systemic conditions (example- diabetes and/or hypertension) which is under control and opting dental implants for replacement of single missing teeth. 2. Good oral hygiene and periodontal status; having a score of 0-2 in the gingival index and a score of 0-2 in the plaque index. 3. Adequate amount of bone volume and adequate density at implant site allowing to perform the surgery.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients with systemic diseases that contraindicates the surgery; immune compromised patients. 2. Patients with mouth opening of fewer than three fingers, which might pose a problem to the placement of a surgical guide. 3. Patients with missing teeth at the free end. 4. Patients not willing to participate in the study
