The precision of dental implant placement is vital for long-term implant success. The surgical guide is designed using advanced 3D imaging techniques allows for a highly accurate simulation of the ideal implant position, angulation, and depth based on the patient's unique anatomy. The aim of the study is to compare implant stability and postoperative pain between guided and freehand surgical implant placement. The research objective is to assess and compare the clinical outcomes of guided surgical implants placement versus conventional freehand implant placement, focusing on primary implant stability, secondary implant stability and postoperative pain. In alignment with this objective, the aim of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes: as implant primary and secondary stability and postoperative pain between guided surgical implant placement and conventional freehand surgical implant placement.
Hypothesis of the study This study hypothesized that guided implant surgery will result in superior implant stability outcome and reduced postoperative pain compared to the freehand technique High light of study. The use of advance technology (machines and software programs) to enhance implant survival and reduce surgical complications associated with implant placement. It is worth noting that, a fully guided implant placement provides flapless surgery and the implant positions were virtually planned based on anatomical and prosthetic considerations. The use of Easy Check Implant Stability Measuring System for measuring primary and secondary implant stability.

This study evaluates a 12-week Combined Rehabilitation Program (CRP) designed to reduce musculoskeletal pain and improve physical function among rural women in northern Iraq. The program integrates home-based therapeutic exercises with simple, culturally appropriate games. Sixty-six women from the Hamdaniya district, all with nearly two decades of experience in agricultural labor and chronic musculoskeletal pain in the back, neck, and limbs, participated voluntarily.
The intervention includes two supervised group sessions per week at a local sports field and remote home-based sessions guided via pre-recorded videos shared through WhatsApp. Each session lasts 45 to 60 minutes and incorporates rest periods. The program is designed to strengthen weakened muscles, improve daily function, and promote social engagement among participants.
Rural women engaged in long-term agricultural labor are at increased risk of chronic musculoskeletal pain, particularly in the back, neck, and limbs.
What is already known on this subject:
* Rural women engaged in long-term agricultural labor are at increased risk of chronic musculoskeletal pain, particularly in the back, neck, and limbs.
* Home-based therapeutic exercises are widely used to manage pain and improve physical function.
* Community-based rehabilitation programs can support better health outcomes in underserved populations.
What this study adds:
* Introduces a culturally adapted Combined Rehabilitation Program (CRP) that blends home-based exercises with traditional games in a rural Iraqi context.
* Explores the feasibility of delivering rehabilitation through low-cost mobile technology in resource-limited environments.
* Provides a community-based model for accessible, flexible rehabilitation tailored to the needs of rural women.
