The Accuracy of Single Tooth Mini Dental Implant Placement Using Computer Assisted Surgical Guide: A Randomized Clinical Trial Comparative Study
Keywords:
Surgical Drill Guide, Randomized Clinical Trial, Single-Tooth Dental Implant, Mini Dental ImplantsAbstract
Background: This study aimed to assess the accuracy of mini dental implant placement using conventional surgical templates (CST) versus digital (computer assisted) surgical drill guides (SDG) for single tooth prosthesis. Materials and methods: Sixteen participants recruited according to inclusion criteria. Twenty implants (16 participants) were randomly assigned to either the CST or SDG group. Mini dental implants were placed in the lower anterior and premolar area. The positioning of implants were analyzed and compared using Planmeca Romexis™. Results: Statistical analysis using the Shapiro-Wilk test and independent sample T-test revealed significant differences between the two groups in 3 parameters out of 10 parameters: top horizontal deviation (CST; 1.43 ± 0.77 and SDG; 0.67 ± 0.3 mm), top global deviation (CST; 1.83 ± 0.85 and SDG; 0.82 ± 0.52 mm) and angular deviation (CST; 5.53 ± 3.14 and SDG; 1.36 ± 0.7 degrees) at p < 0.05. Conclusion: CST and SDG are effective for placing single-tooth mini dental implants in limited-ridge spaces, especially in the anterior and premolar regions. Their versatility allows for adaptation to the specific circumstances of each case, ultimately enhancing clinical decision-making and patient outcomes.Downloads
