Computer-guided versus free-hand placement of immediately loaded dental implants: 1-year post-loading results of a multicentre randomised controlled trial.

CONCLUSIONS: When treatment planning was made on 3D CBTC scan using a dedicated software, no statistically significant differences were observed between computer-guided and a free-hand rehabilitations, with the exception of more postoperative pain and swelling at sites treated freehand because more frequently flaps were elevated. Conflict of interest statement: This trial was completely self-funded and there are no conflicts of interests. PMID: 25237668 [PubMed - in process]
