Brief summary

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the accuracy of single-drill (pilot-guided) computer-guided implant surgery versus full-sequence computer-guided dental implant placement. The study evaluates clinical and radiographic outcomes, focusing on apical, angular, coronal, and depth linear deviations using post-operative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) superimposition.

Interventions

PROCEDUREFull-sequence computer-guided dental implant placement.

Dental implant placement using full sequence computer guidance with all sequential drills and metal reducers

PROCEDURESingle-drill computer-guided dental implant placement

Dental implant placement using first-drill (pilot-guided) computer guidance, followed by freehand sequential drilling and placement
