Abstract

Objectives: Robots are increasingly being used for surgical procedures in various specialties. However, information about the accuracy of robot-assisted dental implant surgery is lacking. This pilot clinical study aimed to investigate the accuracy of an autonomous dental implant robotic (ADIR) system in partially edentulous cases.

Material and methods: The ADIR system was used to place a total of 20 implants in 13 participants. Implant deviation from the planned positions was assessed to determine accuracy. The entry, apex, and angular deviations were described as means ± standard deviation. A two-sample t test was used to compare implant deviation between the flap and flapless groups and between maxillary and mandibular implants (α = .05).

Results: The entry, apex, and angular deviations were 0.65 ± 0.32 mm, 0.66 ± 0.34 mm, and 1.52 ± 1.01°, respectively, with no statistically significant difference between the flap and flapless approaches (P > .05). No adverse events were encountered in any of the participants.

Conclusions: DIR accuracy in this clinical series was comparable to that reported for static and dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery. Robotic computer-assisted implant surgery may be useful for dental implant placement, potentially improving the quality and safety of the procedure.

Clinical relevance: The findings of this study showed that the ADIR system could be useful for dental implant surgery.
