Summary
This study introduces a new protocol combining artificial intelligence (AI) and mixed reality (MR) for dental implant surgical planning. The AI-MR protocol demonstrates reliable and efficient 3D planning for static computer-assisted implant surgery (s-CAIS).
Area of Science:
- Dental surgery
- Computer-aided surgery
- Digital dentistry
Background:
- Traditional implant surgical planning relies on radiology-guided software.
- Integrating advanced technologies can enhance precision and efficiency in dental procedures.
Observation:
- A novel protocol utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and mixed reality (MR) for implant surgical planning.
- The process involves 3D data acquisition (IOS, CBCT), AI-driven model segmentation, and MR-based holographic planning.
- 3D-printed surgical guides are created for static computer-assisted implant surgery (s-CAIS), followed by a fully digital prosthetic workflow.
Findings:
- The AI-MR protocol is reliable and efficient for planning simple s-CAIS cases in partially edentulous patients.
- Clinicians can plan implants in an authentic 3D environment, bypassing traditional radiology-guided software.
- Implant placement precision was found to be clinically acceptable with minor deviations.
Implications:
- AI and MR technologies show promise for authentic 3D planning in s-CAIS.
- This protocol may offer a more intuitive and accurate approach to dental implant surgery.
- Further clinical validation is recommended to confirm the protocol's efficacy.
