This study introduces a digital workflow using autonomous robotic surgery and prefabricated interim prostheses. This approach streamlines dental implant procedures, reducing patient chairside time and overall treatment duration.
Area of Science:
- Digital dentistry
- Robotic surgery
- Prosthodontics
Background:
- Traditional implant-supported prosthesis fabrication is time-consuming.
- Minimizing chairside time is crucial for patient comfort and practice efficiency.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a fully digital workflow for implant-supported prostheses.
- To evaluate the potential of autonomous robotic surgery and prefabricated interim prostheses in streamlining the workflow.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of a digital workflow integrating autonomous robotic surgery.
- Utilization of prefabricated interim prostheses to simplify the process.
Main Results:
- The described digital workflow has the potential to streamline the treatment process.
- Prefabricated interim prostheses can significantly reduce chairside time.
Conclusions:
- Adopting this digital workflow simplifies treatment.
- This approach minimizes the overall time for providing implant-supported prostheses.
