Abstract

Background: Augmented reality (AR) is revolutionizing implant and tooth-supported prosthodontics (ITSP) through enhanced precision, workflow efficiency, and educational outcomes. This scoping review systematically evaluates AR's clinical applications, educational impacts, and implementation challenges. Methods: Following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, comprehensive searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase (2015-2025) for peer-reviewed studies on AR in ITSP. Eighteen studies met inclusion criteria after dual independent screening. Data extraction focused on clinical outcomes, educational benefits, and technological limitations. Results: AR applications demonstrated: ITSP Practice: Submillimeter implant placement accuracy (0.42-0.69 mm entry deviation; p < 0.001 vs. freehand), 30% faster intraoral scanning (44 s vs. 63 s), and 37% reduction in preparation errors (p < 0.05); ITSP Education: 22-30% faster skill acquisition (p < 0.05) and 99% reduction in assessment time (10.5 s vs. 2 h/case). Key Gaps: Limited to two randomized controlled trials (RCTs), hardware costs ($3500-$10,000), and lack of standardized validation protocols. Conclusions: While AR significantly enhances ITSP precision and training efficiency, widespread adoption requires longitudinal clinical validation, cost-effectiveness analyses, and interoperable digital workflows.

增强现实在种植体和牙齿支持的修复实践和教育：范围审查。

背景：增强现实（AR）通过提高精度、工作流程效率和教育成果，正在彻底改变种植体和牙齿支持修复学（ITSP）。本综述系统地评估了AR的临床应用、教育影响和实施挑战。方法：根据PRISMA-ScR指南，在PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science和Embase（2015-2025）中全面检索ITSP中AR的同行评议研究。经过双重独立筛选，18项研究符合纳入标准。数据提取侧重于临床结果、教育效益和技术限制。ITSP实践：亚毫米种植体放置精度（0.42-0.69 mm进入偏差，与徒手相比p < 0.001），口腔内扫描速度提高30%（44秒对63秒），准备错误减少37% (p < 0.05)；ITSP教育：技能习得加快22-30% (p < 0.05)，评估时间减少99% （10.5 s vs. 2 h/例）。主要缺陷：限于两个随机对照试验（rct），硬件成本（3500- 10000美元），缺乏标准化的验证协议。结论：虽然AR显著提高了ITSP的准确性和培训效率，但广泛采用需要纵向临床验证、成本效益分析和可互操作的数字工作流程。
