Dental implant guidance systems promise precise placement, but postoperative assessment with CBCT scans poses radiation risks. This study utilizes an optical scanning method to evaluate implant placement position and assess the accuracy of robotic assistance using the Neocis Yomi system.
METHODS: In a longitudinal study at Boston University, Robotic-assisted dental implant Placement was evaluated. The test population excluded fully edentulous patients. The current cohort focused on eight patients: four were fully guided, and four were partially guided. Optical impressions were obtained with a CEREC Omnicam scanner and indexed using ELOS-accurate Scan Bodies. The preop virtual placement plan was merged with the actual post-op implant placement and then analyzed with Geomagic Control X software to measure deviations between planned and executed positions.
RESULTS: In the four Fully guided patients, the deviation of the Implant at the platform level, midpoint, and apex was 1.3133mm, 1.4425mm, and 1.4355mm, respectively. In the four partially guided patients, the implant deviation at the platform, midpoint, and apex was 1.691mm, 1.0291mm, and 2.2226mm.
CONCLUSION: Despite the study limitations, robotically assisted implant surgery demonstrates accuracy comparable to traditional guidance systems. The use of Intraoral optical scan bodies provides a radiation-free evaluation of the as planned vs. executed dental implant placement. This method should be adopted for future research.
