Brief summary

Prosthetic-driven immediate implant placement for optimal aesthetic restoration has been increasing in demand during the last decades but requires higher accuracy. Dynamic navigation has been reported better implant positioning in immediate implant placement compared to free hand procedure. On the basis of dynamic navigation, robotic system uses the robotic arm to replace the manual process of implant bed preparation and implant placement, therefore improving the accuracy of implant placement theoretically. The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the positional implant accuracy, the surgical time, and patient satisfaction between dynamic navigation and robotic assisted immediate implant placement in maxillae. Subjects will be randomized to either group based on the allocation. The accuracy of placement will be assessed evaluating the difference between the planned and the actual position using a follow-up CBCT scan taken at the end of the surgery. Subjects will be followed up for one year to assess both patient reported and professional outcomes.

Detailed description

Prosthetic-driven immediate implant placement for optimal aesthetic restoration has been increasing in demand during the last decades but requires higher accuracy. Dynamic navigation has been reported better implant positioning in immediate implant placement compared to free hand procedure. However, dynamic navigation faces the following deficiencies in immediate implant placement. Firstly, it has a steep learning curve. Secondly, the rigid palatal bone wall of the socket will force the direction of drill deviating buccally. On the basis of dynamic navigation, robotic system uses the robotic arm to replace the manual process of implant bed preparation and implant placement, therefore improving the accuracy of implant placement theoretically. The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the positional implant accuracy, the surgical time, and patient satisfaction between dynamic navigation and robotic assisted immediate implant placement in maxillae. Subjects will be randomized to either 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 the professional outcomes.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Implant positional accuracyimmediately after surgeryImplant accuracy will be measured as discrepancy between the digital plan and the actual position of the implant. (Global deviation at platform and apex, Angular deviation)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Surgery timeintraoperativeTime needed for surgery procedure will be recorded from anaesthesia to connection of cover screw/healing abutment.
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).
Surgeon preferenceImmediately after surgeryAssessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS, 100 mm, with 0=least desirable option and 100 = most desirable option.
Soft tissue changesimmediately after crown deliveryAssessed by midfacial recession, mesial and distal papillary recession.
