[Precise implant insertion technology for measuring dental implant placement].

Area of Science:

• Dental Implantology
• Surgical Navigation
• Medical Device Technology

Background:

• Accurate dental implant placement is crucial for restoration success.
• Current digital surgical guides and navigation systems have limitations including high costs, multiple procedures, and accuracy issues.
• Physicians often rely on free-hand techniques due to the impracticality of existing digital methods.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present a precise, measurable implantation insertion technology applicable to all dental implant systems.
• To address the lack of time-saving and practical methods for implant site evaluation in preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases.
• To improve the accuracy and efficiency of dental implant procedures.

Main Methods:

• A dynamic control measuring ruler system, including measuring and intraoperative locating rulers, was developed.
• 3D spatial measurement of the operative area was performed preoperatively.
• Implant planning and quantitative guidance were based on measured data and cone beam CT scans.
• The entire implantation process was guided by the dynamic control measuring ruler with verification.

Main Results:

• The presented method enables quantification of preoperative space analysis.
• It provides precise intraoperative guidance for implant insertion.
• Postoperative site measurement and evaluation are facilitated, allowing for positional adjustments.
• Improved implantation accuracy was achieved.

Conclusions:

• This measurable technique offers a practical solution for precise dental implant placement.
• The dynamic control measuring ruler system enhances accuracy, simplifies evaluation, and is suitable for widespread adoption in dental implantation.
• The technology addresses limitations of current digital methods, offering a more accessible and accurate approach.
