Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the learning curve of robotic computer-assisted implant surgery (R-CAIS) among novice dentists, highlighting potential benefits of this innovative technique over traditional methods.
- Four young dentists, with diverse specialties and no prior R-CAIS experience, placed eight dental implants, and the study measured their operational time and deviations in implant placements using advanced imaging techniques.
- Results indicated that while the time for implant placement decreased significantly after the first attempt, improvements plateaued thereafter, suggesting a rapid initial learning phase for the participants.
Statement Of Problem: Dynamic computer-assisted zygomatic implant surgery (dCAZIS) has been reported to provide clinical efficacy with high accuracy and low risk of complications. However, the learning curve before performing dCAZIS effectively is unknown.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to explore the learning curve of dCAZIS in dentists with different levels of experience in implant dentistry and navigation surgery.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of dental implant placement in a single tooth gap, including the postextraction site and healed site, using a task-autonomous robotic system and a dynamic navigation system.
Materials And Methods: Forty partially edentulous models requiring both immediate and conventional implant placement were randomly divided into a robotic system group and a navigation system group. The coronal, apical, and angular deviations of the implants were measured and assessed between the groups.
Background: This in vitro study aims to evaluate the accuracy of dental implant placement by a novel image-guided hybrid robotic system for dental implant surgery (HRS-DIS).
Methods: The HRS-DIS with a 5 degree of freedom (DOF) serial manipulator and a 6 DOF Stewart platform was developed. To evaluate the accuracy of repeated drilling, the holes were prepared twice with a 2.
Objectives: To compare the accuracy of dental implant placement using a dynamic navigation and a robotic system.
Methods: Eighty three-dimensional (3D) printed phantoms, including edentulous and partially edentulous jaws, were assigned to two groups: a dynamic navigation system (Beidou-SNS) group and a robotic system (Hybrid Robotic System for Dental Implant Surgery, HRS-DIS) group. The entry, exit and angle deviations of the implants in 3D world were measured after pre-operative plans and postoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) fusion.
Background: Static computer-assisted surgery (s-CAIS) and dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery (d-CAIS) are the main digital approaches in guiding dental implant placement.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore and compare the learning curves for s-CAIS and d-CAIS by beginners.
Materials And Methods: Three dental students used each dental model for drilling five positions with missing teeth.
Objectives: To assess how anatomy and osteogenesis correlated with results of maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA).
Materials And Methods: Patients with partial edentulism and advanced atrophy of the posterior maxillae (≤ 4 mm residual bone height, RBH) underwent MSFA with sole deproteinized bovine bone matrix (DBBM) through a lateral approach. After a 6 to 9-month healing period, bone core biopsies were obtained from the sites of implant insertion for histological evaluation.
