Accuracy of computer-aided template-guided oral implant placement: a prospective clinical study

“…Consequently, it is a general opinion that in vitro and cadaver studies may overestimate accuracy and underestimate error [22]. When considering in vivo studies, higher values in measurements confirmed the better outcomes as stated [25,26]. Computer-aided surgery has been advocated for clinical situations presenting a limited quantity of bone, frequently characterized by critical anatomical situations.…”

Comparing 2 Cone Beam Computed Tomography Devices for the Transfer Accuracy of a Laboratory-Based Guided Surgery System In Vitro

“…This classification was chosen because of tooth support of the surgical guide, which provides better fit and reproducibility as opposed to mucosal or bony support of a surgical template. 7 In each model, the edentulous region consisted of the first and second premolar and the second molar, bilaterally (Fig. 1A).…”

“…(Implant Dent 2016;25:222-226) Key Words: cone beam computed tomography, accuracy, guided surgery, dental implants transfer of the planning data, surgical template production, positioning the surgical guide, and implant insertion. 7 CBCT device selection plays an important role in determining the accuracy of guided surgery because different accuracy levels have been described for different CBCT devices. 8 One recent report described CBCT device selection to have a significant influence on the transfer accuracy of guided surgery.…”

Maxillary and mandibular immediately loaded implant-supported interim complete fixed dental prostheses on immediately placed dental implants with a digital approach: A clinical report

“…24 A recent systematic review concluded that computer-guided implant surgery provided a predictable level of accuracy. 25 With development of technology, 26 the Standard Tessellation Language (STL) files resulting from an intraoral digital diagnostic impression and computeraided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/ CAM)-fabricated virtual diagnostic waxing and the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) files generated from CBCT scans can be merged in the virtual implant planning software to formulate a prosthetically driven implant surgical plan for subsequent computerguided implant surgery. 27,28 This process eliminates the need for a customized radiographic template and allows digital diagnostic impression and a CBCT scan to be completed in a single visit; implantation surgery can be performed during the patient's second visit.…”
