An in vitro analysis of the accuracy of static and robot-assisted implant surgery.

Objectives: Robot-assisted implant surgery (RAIS) is purported to improve the accuracy of implant placement. The objective of this study was to compare RAIS with static computer-assisted implant surgery (sCAIS) in a controlled environment.

Materials And Methods: A total of n = 102 implants were placed in the same modified typodont (n = 17 repeated simulated implant surgeries with each n = 3 implants per group) using robot-assisted or static computer-assisted implant surgery.

Accuracy and Deviation Analysis of Static and Robotic Guided Implant Surgery: A Case Study.

Guided dental implant surgery can optimize implant placement positioning, increase predictability, and decrease surgical invasiveness through flapless techniques. Static surgical guides have been used to accomplish this task, though limitations of patient opening and lack of coolant contact with the surgical site have been clinically significant weaknesses. Technologic advances have allowed robotically guided implant placement using haptic guidance.
