Dynamic Navigation-Assisted Dental Implant Placement

March 19, 2018 updated by: Volkan Arisan, Istanbul University

Dynamic Navigation-Assisted Dental Implant Placement: A Randomised Controlled Clinical Trial Comparing Accuracy With the Freehand

Placement of dental implants via the freehand approach may result in damage to the surrounding critical anatomy of undiscordant prosthetic position. A real-time navigational stereotaxic surgical instrument (navigation) may help to alleviate these undesired outcomes in the freehand approach.

All patients received implants in the right and left the side of their upper jaws via the random use of the navigation or the freehand approach. Positional deviations between the planned and placed implants were measured on a final tomographic image matched to the baseline.
