Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Surgical Technology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate dental implant fixture placement is crucial for successful functional and esthetic outcomes.
  • Computer-assisted implant surgery enhances precision over freehand techniques.
  • Augmented reality (AR) integration offers advanced visualization but faces adoption barriers due to cost and complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the first clinical application of a mobile-visualized AR navigation system for dental implant placement.
  • To evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of a smartphone-based AR system in digital implantology.
  • To explore AR as a cost-effective alternative for surgical navigation.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive digital workflow was employed, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), intraoral scanning, and photographic data.
  • A smartphone-based AR navigation system was utilized for dynamic implant navigation in the anterior maxilla.
  • Postoperative analysis assessed deviations in implant apex position and angulation from the planned trajectory.

Main Results:

  • The study demonstrated accurate dental implant placement using the smartphone-based AR system.
  • Maximum deviations from the planned trajectory were 2.0 mm in apex position and 9.15° in angulation.
  • The system proved feasible for digital navigation in implantology.

Conclusions:

  • Smartphone-based AR navigation is a viable, cost-effective, and accessible solution for improving accuracy in dental implant surgery.
  • This technology holds potential for training future implantologists.
  • Further research with larger sample sizes is recommended to validate these findings.
