Dynamic Computer-Aided Surgery for Zygomatic Implant Placement: A Systematic Review

Smitha Sharan et al. J Pharm Bioallied Sci. 2025 Jun.

Abstract

Objective: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of dynamic computer-aided surgery (DCAS) for zygomatic implant placement by analyzing implant placement accuracy, clinical outcomes, and postoperative complications.

Materials and methods: A comprehensive search of databases was conducted on studies published between 2000 and 2024 comparing DCAS-assisted zygomatic implant placement with traditional methods, extracting data and assessing quality.

Results: Five studies were included. DCAS significantly enhances implant placement accuracy, reduces complications, and increases patient satisfaction, with robotic systems demonstrating superior accuracy and stability compared to dynamic navigation systems.

Conclusion: DCAS offers a promising approach for zygomatic implant placement, enhancing accuracy, safety, and patient outcomes. Further research is needed to explore long-term benefits and limitations.

Keywords: Accuracy; clinical outcomes; complications; dynamic computer-aided surgery (DCAS); implant placement; zygomatic implant.
