Comparative Accuracy Assessment of Dental Surgical Robotics and Dynamic Navigation in Immediate Implant Prosthesis Restoration

Abstract

Abstract Objectives To compare dental surgical robotic systems and dynamic navigation in dental implant accuracy and immediate restoration. Materials and Methods we studied 31 patients to compare dental surgical robotic systems and dynamic navigation in dental implant accuracy and immediate restoration. They underwent either dental robot-assisted implantation (Group A) or dynamic navigation-assisted implantation (Group B) at Qingdao University Hospital from June 2019 to September 2022. Results Group A had 20 implants; Group B had 25. Statistical analysis showed non-normal data distribution. Group A's implant neck deviation was 0.58 mm (0.45-0.73 mm), similar to Group B's 0.71 mm (0.51-1.01 mm, p > 0.05). However, Group B had a statistically significant implant apex deviation (0.80 mm vs. 0.58 mm, p < 0.05) and angle deviation (3.15 mm vs. 0.88 mm, p < 0.05).Within six months, Group A showed no prosthetic issues, while Group B had two prosthesis fractures. Conclusions Compared to dynamic navigation, dental surgical robotic systems significantly enhance implant placement precision. They are not constrained by tooth position, ensuring maximum adherence to accuracy standards for immediate implant restoration with prefabricated prostheses. When integrated with temporary restoration, this approach reduces chair-side time and enhances patient comfort. Clinical Relevance In summary, our study demonstrates that dental surgical robotic systems offer advantages in implant surgery, providing greater accuracy compared to dynamic navigation. These systems are versatile and adaptable, allowing for precise implantation and immediate restoration with prefabricated prostheses, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
