Navigational dental implant surgery: From current practice to future direction

Abstract

Navigational guided dental implant surgery represents a significant advancement in dental implantology, offering improved accuracy, predictability, and better patient outcomes. Optical trackers, are precisely placed in the patient's oral cavity, which are integrated with a computerized navigation system that tracks their position and orientation in real-time during the surgery. The integration of navigational guidance revolutionizes the field by enhancing the precision and efficiency of dental implant placement procedures. Continued research, technological advancements, and broader accessibility to this technique are expected to further enhance its utility and promote its widespread adoption in dental practices. The presentation provides an overview on the principles and differences between static and dynamic guided implant surgery and its future direction.
