The aim of this systematic review was to assess the accuracy of various dynamic navigation systems in implant placement using in vitro models. A comprehensive literature search was performed across several databases, focusing on studies published between 2016 and 2024 that reported three-dimensional (3D) and angular deviations. Seven in vitro studies were included, analysing five dynamic navigation systems (ImplaNav, Navident, Denacam, X-Guide, and DCARER), with 649 implants evaluated. Results showed mean coronal 3D deviations between 0.46 mm and 1.58 mm, while apical deviations ranged from 0.48 mm to 2.12 mm. Angular deviations varied between 1.01° and 4.24°. Maximum deviations reached up to 4.80 mm for coronal 3D deviation and 10.70° for angular deviation. All systems demonstrated high accuracy within clinically acceptable limits, with X-Guide showing the lowest numerical errors. Factors like tracking technology, calibration methods, and user experience were found to influence accuracy.

This comprehensive review was performed to examine multimodal strategies for managing post-orthognathic surgery pain. A literature search identified 13 studies (with 430 patients); 11 of them were randomized controlled trials. The interventions for pain were categorized into four approaches: cooling therapies, light-based treatments, enhanced recovery protocols, and targeted techniques. A narrative synthesis was performed due to the considerable heterogeneity across the studies. Hilotherapy demonstrated superior pain and swelling reduction compared to conventional cooling methods. Light-based therapies, including low-level laser therapy and photobiomodulation, improved early postoperative pain control and functional recovery. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols were associated with lower pain scores and opioid requirements. Targeted analgesic approaches, such as ultrasound-guided trigeminal nerve blocks and acupoint stimulation, showed promise for acute pain relief. The findings highlight the importance of combining multiple modalities to optimize pain management while minimizing opioid use. The quality of the evidence varied, with some studies limited by small sample sizes and short follow-up periods.
