Brief summary

This study consists in a randomized controlled trial which objective is to assess the accuracy of a dynamic navigation system in dental implant placement in partially edentulous patients compared with the conventional freehand method.

Detailed description

This is a prospective randomized clinical trial. Each patient enrolled in this trial will be randomly allocated to one group ( Navigation group or Freehand groups). Preoperative virtual planification of dental implants on a pre-acquired cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) will be performed for each patient using the same system. During the surgical phase, depending on which group is allocated the patient one surgical approach or other will be used. Then after the surgical procedure a PROMs questionnaire will be asked to the patients. Finally a postoperative CBCT will be performed and overlapped with the preoperative CBCT (with the implants planification) and implant position deviations between the planned and final position will be measured. The study devices are CE- (Conformité Européenne, meaning European Conformity) marked products and used within their intended use.

Interventions

The navigation system allows clinicians, using a specific software, to visualize the position of the surgical drill (tip location and shaft axis direction) on the reconstructed 3D image of the pre-acquired CBCT. The software guides the surgeon, in real-time, to the preoperative planned position.

DEVICEFreehand implant placement

Dental implants will be placed without any guidance once a virtually planning of the ideal position on the CBCT is done

Masking description

Patient will be unaware of which group since during the surgical procedure patient eyes' will be covered. Outcome assessor won't take part of the clinical process and will be blinded regarding which group is allocated each patient.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Angular deviation3 months post operativeangular deviation between the virtual planed position of the implant and the final implant position. Measured in degrees
Platform 3D deviation3 months post operativeglobal deviation at the platform of the dental implant between the virtual planned position and the final position of the dental implant measured in the 3 axes of the space (3D deviation). Measured in millimeters (mm).
Apex 3D deviation3 months post operativeglobal deviation at the apex of the dental implant between the virtual planned position and the final position of the dental implant measured in the 3 axes of the space (3D deviation). Measured in millimeters (mm).
Platform 2D deviation3 months post operativeLateral deviation at the platform of the dental implant between the virtual planned position and the final position of the dental implant measured in 2 axes of the space (x and y, 2D deviation). Measured in millimeters (mm).
Apex depth deviation3 months post operativeDepth deviation of the apex of the dental implant between the virtual planned position and the final position of the dental implant in the Z-axis. Measured in millimeters (mm).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) questionnaireOne week post operative.Patients perception of their functional well-being and health status during the dental implant treatment with a navigation system. We will use OHIP-14 (Oral Health Impact Profile) questionnaire.
