Fully Versus Partially Guided Implants Placement: Measurement of Accuracy of Implant Position and Passivity of Superstructures.

Sixteen healthy, fully edentate patients will be selected from the Prosthodontic Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Mansoura University. The patients will be informing about the protocol of the study and, they will sign a written consent. The study will be ethically approved according to the faculty of dentistry principles.

Sample size and study design A power analysis was made using a computer software (G* power) to detect the prober sample size based on the results of a previous study in which the authors found a significant difference in mesiodistal measurements between two groups (computer guided implant placement Vs conventional implant placement) using a similar study design. The sample size calculation yields a total of 32 implants (16 implants\ each group) using independent samples t-test. The following are details of sample size calculation: effect size= 0.904, Alpha (α)= .050. power (β)= .80

Patient selection i- Completely healed residual alveolar ridges ii- Angle's class I maxillo-mandibular relationship. iii- Sufficient mandibular and maxillary restorative spaces, at least 15mm evaluated by recording a tentative jaw relation.

iv- Adequate bone height in the premaxilla area, and the anterior mandibular area. This will be evaluated radiographically Exclusion criteria included (i) Systemic disorders affecting bone (such as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis).

(ii) Local or general contraindication for surgical procedures. (iii) History of chemotherapy or radiation therapy to the head and neck area. (iv) Poor neuromuscular co-ordination. (v) TMJ dysfunction and parafunctional habits

1. Construction of conventional complete denture: Each patient will receive conventional complete denture and will be delivered and followed to adjust any post operative complains
2. Construction of surgical guide by dual scan technique:

• According to the virtual 3D planning and surgical guide designing for implant instalment, patients will randomly be divided into two equal treatment groups as follows: Group (I): partially- guided (PG) implant instalment Group (II): fully- guided (FG)implant instalment

1. Photogrammetic scanning: For both groups based on the implant planning position and angulation a presurgical 3D printed model with digital analogue spaces will be constructed and scanned using photogrammetric device after connecting the multiunit digital analogues to the printed model in order to be compared to the model formed after implants placement in each group using photogrammetric device.
2. Implant instalments:

• Flapless surgical protocol will be followed to install the maxillary and mandibular implants for both groups following all on 4 concepts.
• Post operative medication and home care will be followed for all patients.

1. Construction of screw retained mandibular and maxillary overdentures

• Scan bodies will be screwed into the implant fixture and will be scanned intraorally
• The implant superstructure will be virtually planned and will be milled in (or 3D laser printed into cobalt chromium)
• Artificial teeth will be milled in according to balanced lingualized scheme and mandibular and maxillary screw retained will be fabricated and immediately delivered into the patient mouth within 2-3 days of implant instalment

1. Methods of evaluation:

• Passivity of superstructure and 3-D accuracy of implant position will be measured immediately after loading by using photogrammetric device.
• Implant marginal bone height changes will be measured by cone beam radiograph after one and two years of loading
• Evaluation peri-implant soft tissue changes in form of probing depth, and gingival and plaque indices will be measured immediately, one and two years of implant loading.
