In Vivo Accuracy of Autonomous Dental Implant Robotic Surgery: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Autonomous dental implant robotic (ADIR) surgery demonstrates high accuracy for dental implant placement, achieving mean deviations of approximately 0.6 mm and 1.40 degrees. While feasible, ADIR requires skilled operators and technical support for practical implementation.
Area Of Science
- Dental Implantology
- Robotic Surgery
- Digital Dentistry
Background
- Advancements in robotic surgery are transforming various medical fields, including dentistry.
- Autonomous Dental Implant Robotic (ADIR) surgery offers potential for enhanced precision in implant placement.
- Evaluating the accuracy of ADIR is crucial for its clinical adoption.
Purpose Of The Study
- To systematically analyze the accuracy of Autonomous Dental Implant Robotic (ADIR) surgery for dental implant placement.
- To compare the accuracy of ADIR with other computer-assisted implant surgery techniques.
Main Methods
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical studies was conducted.
- Databases searched included PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL.
- Accuracy was assessed by superimposing preoperative digital plans with postoperative CBCT images, evaluating linear and angular deviations.
Main Results
- Six clinical studies involving 96 patients and 299 implants were analyzed.
- The meta-analysis reported a mean overall accuracy of ADIR of 0.60 mm at the platform and 0.63 mm at the apex.
- ADIR demonstrated significantly higher accuracy compared to static and dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery, with a mean angular deviation of 1.242 degrees.
Conclusions
- ADIR surgery is a feasible technique for implant placement in partially and completely edentulous patients.
- Consistent mean linear and angular deviations of approximately 0.6 mm and 1.40 degrees were achieved.
- Clinical practicality is currently limited by the need for well-trained operators and technical backup.
