Objective:
To analyze the effect of the computer-aided designed maxillary sinus surgical template (CAD-MSST) on the surgical outcome.
Materials And Methods:
A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE (PubMed), Cochrane, web of science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases as well as reference list manual search up to November 2019. After excluding irreverent studies or with a high risk of bias, detailed data, and final results of each study was extracted.
Results:
Upon 426 recorded studies, five studies were eligible enough to be included during the study selection procedure and a total of 99 patients with 606 implants were evaluated. As a result of using CAD-MSST, less complication is expected during the surgical phase, in the healing period, and even after loading.
Conclusions:
CAD-MSST brings the advantage of 3D display of multislice imaging with faster and more accurate manufacturing procedure. Simplification of the surgical procedure and limits invasiveness. However, the effect of delayed or immediate implant placement, or using angulated implants are the subjects recommended to be investigated in the future studies.
