Accuracy of Computer Guided Implant Placement in Edentulous or Partially Edentulous Patients Using Artificial Intelligence Technology vs Conventional Method A Randomized Clinical Trial
Sponsor: Future University in Egypt
Summary
This study at Future University in Egypt aims to compare two modern methods of placing dental implants: one using artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted computer planning and the other using conventional computer-guided planning. Participants who have missing teeth will receive dental implants using a customized 3D-printed surgical guide designed from CBCT scans. The study will evaluate how accurately the implants are placed and whether AI technology can improve precision and treatment planning. Participants will undergo examination, implant surgery, healing, and follow-up visits, including scans before and after treatment. Like any implant procedure, there may be risks such as swelling, infection, or implant failure, but patients will be closely monitored throughout the study.

Interventions
Group A: AI-assisted computer-guided implant planning
The surgical guide will be utilized using Bluesky bio software and Perfactory Micro 3D printing machine. The BlueSky software using AI automatically detects the nerves, detects the missing teeth, and places the dental implant and fabricate the surgical stent. The stent is then exported to STL file and printed. It will be positioned on the mandible or the maxilla. The implants will be inserted into the mandible or the maxilla under the guidance of the surgical guide CBCT will be taken post-operatively for the patient with the implants in place. The pre-operative and postoperative CBCT plan will be superimposed virtually and any deviations in implant depth or angulations in different planes different from the plan will be recorded.
Group B: Conventional computer-guided implant planning
The surgical guide will be created utilizing PlastyCAD Software and Perfactory Micro 3D printing machine. It will be positioned on the mandible or the maxilla. The implants will be inserted into the mandible or the maxilla under the guidance of the surgical guide. This procedure will be performed on both completely edentulous and partially edentulous patients. CBCT will be taken post-operatively for the patient with the implants in place. The pre-operative and postoperative CBCT plan will be superimposed virtually and any deviations in implant depth or angulations in different planes different from the plan will be recorded.
