Accuracy of immediate anterior implantation using static and robotic computer-assisted implant surgery: A retrospective study

摘要

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the accuracy of immediate anterior implantation using static computer-assisted implant surgery (s-CAIS) and robotic computer-assisted implant surgery (r-CAIS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred and six implants were immediately inserted in the anterior zone of 69 patients using a freehand technique, s-CAIS or r-CAIS. Postoperative cone-beam computed tomography scans were matched with preoperative plans to evaluate the deviations between the planned and placed implant positions. RESULTS: The global coronal deviations in the freehand, s-CAIS, and r-CAIS groups were 1.29 ± 0.52 mm, 1.01 ± 0.41 mm, and 0.62 ± 0.28 mm, respectively. Significant differences were observed in the r-CAIS group compared to both the s-CAIS group and the freehand group (p < 0.05). However, no significant differences were found between the s-CAIS group and the freehand group (p > 0.05). The global apical deviations in the freehand, s-CAIS and r-CAIS groups were 1.78 ± 0.59 mm, 1.24 ± 0.52 mm and 0.65 ± 0.27 mm, respectively, while the angular deviations in the freehand, s-CAIS and r-CAIS groups were 6.46 ± 2.21°, 2.94 ± 1.71° and 1.46 ± 0.57°, respectively. Significant differences were observed in both the global apical deviations and angular deviations among the three groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The accuracy of immediate anterior implantation with r-CAIS was better than that with s-CAIS. This difference is attributed to better control of the coronal, vertical and axial errors during r-CAIS. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This study provides significant evidence to support the use of r-CAIS as a potential alternative in immediate anterior implantation.
