1 Introduction Implant dentistry is being transformed with the introduction of digital technologies, but also transitioning towards new paradigms, such as design-driven treatment plan (Pedrinaci et al. 2024; Mattheos et al. 2021), immediacy (Amorfini et al. 2017; Morton et al. 2023), and minimal invasiveness (Joda et al. 2018).

However, the importance of other clinically relevant outcomes is being recognized and research is emerging (Sadilina et al. in press).
