A fully digital planning protocol for dynamic computer-assisted zygomatic implant surgery based on virtual surgery simulation: A dental technique.

Dynamic navigation-guided zygomatic implant (ZI) surgery has been a preferred option for achieving optimal prosthetic-driven implant placement. However, during the actual surgical procedure, surgical execution may still be hindered by environmental factors such as mouth opening. A fully digital planning protocol is described that integrated the patient's maxillofacial soft tissue information and virtual surgical handpiece with the drills on the implant planning path to ensure the precise, time-saving, and smooth implementation of dynamic navigation-guided ZI surgery.
