Autonomous robotic computer-assisted implant surgery exhibits remarkable accuracy for single-tooth implant replacement by controlling angular deviation and axial faults.
The findings of a case series offered substantial evidence to favor autonomous robotic surgery as a potential substitute in dental implant surgery. The assessment of the precision of the single-tooth implant placement using autonomous robotic computer-assisted implant surgery (r-CAIS) was the aim of the study.
r-CAIS was performed on subjects who had one missing tooth. The patients had a positioning marker-assisted cone-beam computed tomography scan. Prior to the surgery, a virtual preoperative drilling plan and implant placement were made. Under the surgeon's guidance, the robotic system autonomously carried out the implant osteotomy and placement intraoperatively.
To assess the differences between the intended and actual placement of the implants, a postoperative cone-beam computed tomography scan was carried out. Overall, 10 individuals who had a single dental implant were included. There were no documented adverse surgical outcomes or postoperative problems (such as early implant failure or infection).
The mean global coronal, apical, and angular deviations for the autonomous robotic implant surgery were 0.74 mm, 0.73 mm, and 1.11°, respectively. Owing to the management of axial faults and angular deviation, autonomous r-CAIS demonstrated good accuracy for single-tooth implant placement.
