Summary
Standardizing terminology for computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS) is crucial for advancing research and clinical practice. This glossary provides 98 defined terms across 5 domains to clarify nomenclature for devices and procedures.
Area of Science:
- Dental Implantology
- Medical Technology
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- The rapid advancement of computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS) necessitates standardized terminology.
- Existing terminology lacks uniformity, hindering clear communication in research and clinical practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish a standardized glossary of terms for computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS).
- To clarify nomenclature for devices, presurgical, and surgical procedures within CAIS.
Main Methods:
- A glossary of 98 terms was developed through collective work of experienced clinicians and researchers.
- The glossary was refined and revised via structured input from global experts in CAIS clinical application, research, and education.
- Terms are organized into 5 distinct domains.
Main Results:
- A comprehensive glossary of 98 terms for computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS) has been established.
- The glossary covers devices, presurgical planning, and surgical procedures.
- The terms are organized into 5 domains for clarity.
Conclusions:
- This standardized glossary aims to reduce ambiguity in CAIS terminology.
- It supports advancements in clinical practice, research, and the development of new CAIS technologies.
- Adoption of this nomenclature will foster consistency and collaboration in the field.
