Abstract

Background: The evolution of minimally invasive concept made flapless implant placement combined
with CAD/CAM surgical templates superior on free hand immediate implant placement in fresh extraction
socket. Although Patient reported outcome measure in relation to any restoration in the esthetic zone
is a very important criterion, very limited studies reporting patient satisfaction of free hand immediate
implant placement protocol compared with computer guided approach. This study aimed to evaluate patient
satisfaction of computer guided (test group) versus free hand (control group) immediate implant placement
in esthetic zone.
Materials and Methods: A total of 20 patients with remaining roots in the aesthetic zone and indicated
for extraction were selected. They were allocated randomly into two equivalent groups of 10
participants each. Immediate implant placement was performed using computer aided surgical guide for test
group and free handed without any surgical guide for the control group. For patient satisfaction assessment
a validated questionnaire was used where each question of the questionnaire was scored by the patients on
10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS).
Results: No statistically significant difference was found in patient satisfaction between the test and control
groups.
Conclusions: within the limitation of our study, combining a computer aided surgical guide to an immediate
implant placement seems to be a predictable therapy especially for young practitioners.
