3D-Printed PLA Guide Versus Resin Guide in Mandibular Molar Implant Placement

Conditions: Immediate Implant Placement in Mandibular Molar Extraction Sockets

Sex: All

Ages: 20 Years – 50 Years

Healthy volunteers: No

Phase: NA

Enrollment: 20

Sponsor: Mohamed Esmail Ahmed Hassan

Summary

This randomized clinical trial compares two tooth-supported computer-guided surgical guide systems for immediate implant placement in mandibular molar extraction sockets: a patient-specific 3D-printed PLA guide system and a modified resin guide system. The study evaluates implant positioning accuracy, primary implant stability, and surgical time.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 20-50 years. * Non-restorable mandibular first molar indicated for extraction. * Sufficient bony support for implant placement without the need for significant bone augmentation. * Good oral hygiene and motivation. * Adequate prosthetic space. * Ability and willingness to undergo the surgical procedure and follow-up. * Suitable for computer-guided, tooth-supported implant placement. Exclusion Criteria: * Uncontrolled systemic diseases that may impair healing (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes or hypertension). * Severe periodontal disease. * Patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy. * Insufficient prosthetic space. * Heavy smokers.
