Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how accurate fully guided dental implant placement is when performed by experienced versus novice clinicians. It will also study how different types of surgical guides affect the accuracy of implant placement. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the clinician's level of experience affect how closely the dental implant matches the planned position? Does the type of surgical guide (tooth-supported or mucosa-supported) influence implant placement accuracy? Researchers will compare the implant accuracy across six groups based on clinician experience and guide type. Participants will: Undergo a fully guided dental implant procedure using a 3D-printed surgical guide Be treated by either an experienced or a novice clinician Receive follow-up scans to measure how accurately the implant was placed compared to the digital plan

Conditions

• Accuracy of Fully Guided Dental Implant Placement Based on Clinician Experience and Surgical Guide Support Type

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Fully Guided Dental Implant Placement Using Surgical Guide	All participants will undergo fully guided dental implant placement using a 3D-printed surgical guide (tooth-supported or mucosa-supported). The surgical guide is designed and fabricated based on preoperative CBCT and intraoral scan data. Implant site preparation and fixture insertion are performed entirely through the guide using manufacturer-specific guided surgery kits.
