Brief summary

For free hand dental implant placement, a key difficulty is to accurately control the position. Improving precision of dental implant placement is considered important for safety and efficacy of tooth replacement with dental implants. There are 3 available methods to improve implant position according to a digitally constructed prosthetically guided plan: the use of a 3D printed static guide, the use of a dynamic navigation system or the use of a robotic system. The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the positional implant accuracy, the surgical time, and patient satisfaction among three methods of digital guidance: the use of a 3D printed static guide, dynamic navigation, and robotic assisted surgery. Patients requiring single tooth replacement with a dental implant will be digitally planned using a CBCT and an intraoral digital scan. Subjects will be randomized to one of the three treatment modalities based on the plan. The accuracy of placement will be assessed evaluating the difference between the planned and the actual position using a follow-up scan taken at the end of the surgery. Subjects will be followed up for one year to assess both patient reported and professional outcomes.

Subjects will be randomized to one of the three treatment modalities based on the plan. The accuracy of placement will be assessed evaluating the difference between the planned and the actual position using a follow-up scan taken at the end of the surgery. Platform deviation will be measured digitally. Subjects will be followed up for one year to assess both patient reported and professional outcomes and associate them with the precision of implant position.

Interventions

Implant will be placed under the assistance of dynamic navigation.

DEVICEStatic guide

A static guide will be designed and fabricated based on CBCT and intra-oral scan. Implant will be placed under the assistance of statistic guide through the whole procedure.

Implant will be placed under robotic arm and human collaboration.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Implant positional accuracyImmediately after surgeryImplant accuracy will be measured as discrepancy between the digital plan and t actual position of the implant.
Peri-implant soft tissue health12 month follow-upDefined according to the peri-implant health case definition by Berglundh et al 2017 and the ID-COSM international consensus conference

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient preferenceImmediately after surgeryAssessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS, 100 mm, with 0=least desirable option and 100 = most desirable option.
Surgeon preferenceImmediately after surgeryAssessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS, 100 mm, with 0=least desirable option and 100 = most desirable option.
Surgery timeintraoperativeTime needed for surgery procedure will be recorded from anaesthesia to connection of cover screw/healing abutment.
Cytokine concentrations in PISF12-months follow-up after delivery of crownCytokine concentration in peri-implant sulcus fluid assesed by MULTIPLEX ELISA of IL-1, TNFa, IL-6 with lower concentrations representing less inflammation.
Submarginal microbiome12-months follow-up after delivery of crown16S assessment of microbiome diversity (Shannon index) with greater diversity representing a more stable microbiome
Esthetics of the restoration12-months follow-up after delivery of crownAssessed using the PES-WES scale as reported by Belser et al. with 0 being the worst and 14 the best value in the scale
Pain perceptionImmediately after surgeryPatient pain perception during surgery will be recorded using visual analogue scale (VAS with range from 0 to 10 with 10 being the highest possible pain experience) .
