Accuracy of an autonomous dental implant robotic system in partial edentulism: A pilot clinical study.

Objectives: Robots are increasingly being used for surgical procedures in various specialties. However, information about the accuracy of robot-assisted dental implant surgery is lacking. This pilot clinical study aimed to investigate the accuracy of an autonomous dental implant robotic (ADIR) system in partially edentulous cases.

Robot-assisted surgery for dental implant placement: A narrative review.

Objective: To determine the current status and accuracy of robotic computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS) applications by examining the associated clinical and experimental outcomes.

Data And Sources: PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant studies published between January 2000 and November 2023, and focusing on robotic CAIS in dental implant surgery. All search results were then manually reviewed to identify only the pertinent articles.

Modified Suture Technique for Stabilization of Connective Tissue Graft in Immediate Implant Placement and Provisionalization: A Short Technical Report.

Immediate implant placement and provisionalization with subepithelial connective tissue graft is considered the reference therapy for achieving a good esthetic outcome, especially in cases with a thin periodontal phenotype. Positioning sutures are usually required to maintain graft stability. This article describes the use of a modified suture technique involving vertical/horizontal double-parallel mattress sutures in immediate implant placement to achieve stable passive fixation of the graft in the appropriate position and to provide a more equal distribution of tension in the wound.

Classification of premolars sagittal root position and angulation for immediate implant placement: a cone beam computed tomography study.

Objectives: Sagittal root position (SRP) and buccal plate thickness are important considerations in implant treatment planning. The objective of this study was to classify the relationship of the SRP and angulation to the osseous housing to assist treatment plan making for immediate implant placement in the premolar region.

Study Design: We classified the SRP and angulations of the maxillary and mandibular premolars and measured the buccal plate thickness of 150 patients using cone beam computed tomography to support clinical decision making.

Short Implants versus Longer Implants with Sinus Floor Elevation: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials with a Post-Loading Follow-Up Duration of 5 Years.

This study compared the outcome of fixed prostheses supported by short implants (<8 mm) and longer implants (≥8 mm) with an elevated sinus floor after 5 years of follow-up. The literature searches were performed electronically and manually in PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases to identify relevant articles published from 1 January 2013 to 31 January 2020. We selected eligible studies using inclusion criteria and assessed their quality.

Vertical Deviation Caused by Tightening Torque on Implant Scan Body: An In Vitro Study.

Purpose: This study evaluated the effects of manipulator level (ML) on implant scan body (ISB) seating. It also investigated ISB vertical deviation with various levels of tightening torque.

Materials And Methods: In total, 10 standard acrylic resin models were prepared with the implant on the first molar site.

Comparison of Implant Placement Accuracy in Healed and Fresh Extraction Sockets between Static and Dynamic Computer-Assisted Implant Surgery Navigation Systems: A Model-Based Evaluation.

The aim of this model-base study was to compare the accuracy of implant placement between static and dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS) systems in a fresh extraction socket and healed ridge. A randomized in vitro study was conducted. Twenty 3D-printed maxillary models and 80 implants were used.

Effectiveness of acellular dermal matrix graft with a coronally advanced flap for the treatment of Miller Class I/II single gingival recession with thin gingival phenotype: study protocol for a split-mouth randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Gingival recession is one of the most common mucogingival deformities requiring surgical correction. The American Academy of Periodontology Regeneration Workshop recommended connective tissue graft (CTG) combined with coronally advanced flap (CAF) for the treatment of Miller Class I and II single-tooth gingival recession. The disadvantages of harvesting autogenous tissue include postoperative bleeding, pain and discomfort at the donor site, restricted tissue supply, increased morbidity and prolonged operative times.

Digital workflow for prosthetically driven implant navigation surgery in a fully edentulous patient: a case report.

Background: Dynamic navigation has important potential advantages over the static approach for fully edentulous patients. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first published case report describing the use of a dynamic implant navigation technique for a fully edentulous patient.

Case Report: A 55-year-old female presented for the replacement of missing teeth.

Evaluation of a dynamic navigation system for training students in dental implant placement.

Objective: Computer-guided simulation systems may offer a novel training approach in many surgical fields. This study aimed to compare dental students' learning progress in dental implants placement between a dynamic navigation system and a traditional training method using a simulation model.

Methods: Senior dental students with no implant placement experience were randomly assigned to implant placement training using a dynamic navigation system or a traditional freehand protocol.

[Comparative analysis of two surgical techniques for controlling nasal width after Le Fort I osteotomy].

Objective: To compare the efficacy of two surgical techniques for controllong nasal width after Le Fort I osteotomy.

Methods: Fifty-five patients who received the Le Fort I osteotomy have been included in this study. They were randomly divided into 2 groups.
