Summary
This study introduces a new robotic system for dental implant surgery, achieving high accuracy and stability in a single case. The findings suggest this technology could enhance precision in clinical dental offices.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Robotics
- Surgical Technology
Background:
- Dental implant placement traditionally relies on surgeon skill.
- Advancements in robotics offer potential for enhanced precision and predictability in surgical procedures.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a novel clinical protocol for prosthetically guided dental implant placement using a semi-autonomous robotic system.
- To evaluate the accuracy and stability of implants placed with robotic assistance.
Main Methods:
- A single-tooth gap was treated with robotic-assisted implant surgery.
- Preoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scans informed a virtual surgical plan.
- The robotic system performed osteotomy and implant placement semi-autonomously under surgeon supervision.
- Implant stability was measured using the implant stability quotient (ISQ); postoperative CBCT assessed positional accuracy.
Main Results:
- Successful placement of a single dental implant with no major complications.
- Achieved an implant stability of 80 ISQ.
- Reported minimal deviations: platform (0.37 mm), apex (0.49 mm), depth (0.33 mm), and angular (1.33 degrees).
Conclusions:
- The semi-autonomous robotic system demonstrated accurate and stable dental implant placement.
- Preliminary evidence supports the potential of this robotic system for precise implantology in a clinical setting.
