This integration enables the development of more personalized treatment plans, ensures precise implant positioning, and strengthens communication between clinicians and patients, thereby reducing potential errors and risks. Computer-aided implant surgery consists of two primary approaches: static-guided surgery, which uses a physical surgical stent to guide the osteotomy based on the preoperatively planned virtual implant position, and dynamic-guided surgery, which employs an optical tracking system with a real-time monitor display for the visualization of implant osteotomy inside the alveolar bone. Each approach offers distinct advantages and poses unique clinical challenges. This paper provides an overview of the current applications and literature on digital treatment planning and computer-aided implant surgery, discussing the advantages and limitations of each approach. Clinical cases are presented to illustrate the digital workflow and highlight key considerations for implementing these methods.
