The Accuracy of Dental Implant Placement With Different Methods of Computer-Assisted Implant Surgery: A Network Meta-Analysis of Clinical Studies.

Objective: Computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS) has been introduced as a tool to aid in reaching a more accurate implant position. The aim of this network meta-analysis was to compare all the available CAIS techniques and obtain collective evidence on the method that offers the highest accuracy compared to freehand implant placement.

Materials And Methods: Database search was done in PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane library in addition to extensive search in the gray literature and related systematic reviews, aiming to find clinical studies that compared any CAIS technique with another, or with freehand implant placement.

Radiographic changes after alveolar ridge preservation using autogenous raw tooth particles versus xenograft: A prospective controlled clinical trial.

Objective: The use of extracted teeth has been introduced as an option for bone grafting. However, the current method requires special machines and solutions, posing significant time and cost. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of autogenous raw tooth particles (RTP), a grafting material made from a ground tooth using basic equipment, for alveolar ridge preservation.

The clinical efficacy of the allogenic demineralized dentin matrix graft for implant placement: a systematic review.

Purpose: The Allogenic Demineralized Dentin Matrix (Allo-DDM) has been introduced as a new grafting material, and several investigations were conducted, showing its efficacy in bone augmentation. The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the available literature on the Allo-DDM, revealing its clinical performance when used for implant placement procedures.

Methods: This study is registered in the PROSPERO database (number: CRD42021264885, date: 30/7/2021).

Comparison of the accuracy of implant position for two-implants supported fixed dental prosthesis using static and dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery: A randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background: Computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS) can facilitate accuracy of single implant placement, but little is known with regards to parallelism between multiple implants.

Purpose: To compare the accuracy of position and parallelism of two implants, using static and dynamic CAIS systems.

Materials And Methods: Thirty patients received two implants (60 implants) randomly allocated to two different CAIS systems.
