Clinical Safety and Effectiveness of the Straumann Dynamic Navigation System Falcon
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Partially Edentulous Jaw, Tooth Loss, Dental Implant
In brief
The Falcon Study is a prospective, multicenter, multinational clinical investigation evaluating the Straumann® Dynamic Navigation System (Falcon) for dental implant placement. The Falcon system is a real-time dynamic navigation device that helps clinicians visualize the position of dental instruments during surgery. The purpose of the study is to assess whether Falcon enables safe and precise implant placement in partially edentulous patients compared to benchmarks from the literature for freehand implant placement. The study will enroll approximately 75 adult patients across four European centers (Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands, and Belgium). Each patient will undergo preoperative planning, implant surgery with the Falcon system, and a postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan to measure implant placement accuracy. The main outcomes are (1) angular deviation between planned and actual implant position, and (2) safety as measured by adverse device effects. Results will provide clinical evidence to support regulatory clearance and the safe adoption of the Falcon system in routine practice.
