Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate how the experience level of two operators affects their performance and accuracy when using computer-assisted dynamic navigation (C-ADN) systems during dental procedures involving thick bone layers, specifically in osteotomy and root-end resections.
- - Results indicated that the less experienced operator exhibited significantly worse performance in terms of task-focused metrics, including longer visuomotor coordination times and higher rates of procedural errors compared to the experienced operator, who showed better overall outcomes.
- - Both operators felt that C-ADN systems improved their surgical skills and patient safety, but only the less experienced operator reported challenges related to mental workload and usability, highlighting a gap in proficiency and comfort with the technology.
