Randomized Controlled Trial of Full-Arch Rehabilitation

July 18, 2013 updated by: Prof. Marco Ferrari, University of Siena

Clinical Evaluation of Immediate Loading Full Arch Rehabilitation Made With Methodology for Computer Guided Implant Planning With Software Polyvalent vs Free Hand Implants Placement

This clinical study has the objective to compare the radiographic evaluations after 3 years of follow-up of immediate loaded implant-prosthetic rehabilitation, carried out randomly using the methodology for computer guided implant planning with software polyvalent or free hand implants placement.
