Robotic computer-assisted implant surgery promising for placing dental implants in fully edentulous patients

Results

Ten patients with 59 implants underwent autonomous robotic surgery. No adverse surgical events occurred. The deviations of global coronal, global apical, and angular were 0.67 ± 0.37 mm (95% CI: 0.58–0.77 mm), 0.69 ± 0.37 mm (95% CI: 0.59–0.78 mm), and 1.27° ± 0.59° (95% CI: 1.42°–1.11°), respectively.

The autonomous r-CAIS technology proved an accurate surgical approach for implant placement in fully edentulous patients due to the control of the angular deviation. Autonomous robotic surgery seems promising as an accurate technology for treating fully edentulous patients. However, further trials are required to provide more hard clinical evidence.
