The Accuracy of Dental Implant Placement Using Robotic System-assisted Surgery and Freehand Surgery

The Accuracy of Dental Implant Placement Using Robotic System-assisted Surgery and Freehand Surgery: a Randomized Clinical Trial

We plan to conduct this randomized clinical trial to compare the implant positional accuracy of robotic system-assisted implant surgery with that of conventional freehand implant surgery. Patients will be enrolled and randomly assigned to either an experimental group that underwent robotic surgery or a control group that underwent freehand surgery, to evaluate the accuracy of implant in both groups.

Oral implants have become a widely used treatment modality for patients with missing or edentulous teeth. Previous studies have shown that implant accuracy is associated with implant success and long-term outcomes. Therefore, we plant to conduct this randomized clinical trial to compare the implant positional accuracy of robotic system-assisted implant surgery with that of conventional freehand implant surgery. Patients will be enrolled and randomly assigned to either an experimental group that underwent robotic surgery or a control group that underwent freehand surgery. By comparing the preoperative planned implant position with the actual postoperative implant position using CBCT, we will evaluate the accuracy of implant in both groups.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Single missing teeth with adjacent and opposing healthy natural teeth;
2. Healthy patients;
3. Sufficient alveolar bone available for implant placement.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Pregnancy or intention to become pregnant at any point during the study duration
2. With any systemic diseases/conditions that are contraindications to dental implant...
