Randomized Clinical Study Comparing Two Guided Surgery Techniques for Free-end Implant Placement

This is a randomized multicenter clinical study that compares two static guided surgery techniques in free-end partial edentulism. The aim is to compare the accuracy obtained between dento-osseous supported and dento-mucosal supported surgical splints to place dental implants in posterior osseous ridges.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients who present to one of the two participating clinics with a posterior edentulous area starting from the second premolar. * Patients in whom the placement of dental implants is not contraindicated. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with hypersensitivities or allergies that contraindicate the intervention. * Presence of orofacial neurological symptoms. * Patients treated with bisphosphonates. * Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or women undergoing contraceptive treatment. * Signs of infection in the surgical area. * Need for unconventional surgical procedures (e.g., split crest, vertical regeneration, block graft). * Lack of patient cooperation.
