Accuracy And Efficiency Of Digital Implant Planning And Guided Implant Surgery

Advances in digital technologies offer 3D integrated solutions for digital implnat planning.Virtual implant placement and guided implant surgery are claimed to provide more predictable results even in complicated implant treatments.Technology is now capable to properly transfer the virtually planned optimal positon of implants to reality during surgery.However clinicians have to be aware of the potential deviation factors and risks of the different types of guided surgery systems to reduce the risk of complications.The aim of this review is to evaluate the efficiency and accuracy of different computer-assisted dental implant placement techniques and to discuss potential error sources for each technique.
