Summary
Photogrammetry shows promise in implant dentistry for coordinate transfer. Further research is recommended to enhance its application and validate its accuracy in diverse clinical scenarios.
Area of Science:
- Digital dentistry
- Oral implantology
- Photogrammetry applications
Background:
- Photogrammetry technology offers potential benefits in implant dentistry.
- A systematic review is needed to evaluate its clinical utility and accuracy.
- Current literature lacks comprehensive analysis of photogrammetry in this field.
Approach:
- A systematic review was conducted using major databases (PubMed MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science) from January 2011 to February 2021.
- Manual searches supplemented the database retrieval.
- Data extraction focused on study design, application type, equipment, evaluation methods, and outcomes.
Key Points:
- Twenty articles were included in the review.
- Photogrammetry is largely confirmed as a promising system for implant coordinate transfer.
- Limited studies explored its use in 3D scanning, indicating a need for further development.
Conclusions:
- Initial findings suggest photogrammetry is a valid and reliable tool for implant dentistry.
- Further research and evidence-based studies are recommended to optimize its application in various clinical settings.
- Development of photogrammetry technology is encouraged to broaden its use in implantology.
