[PPS-P-4] Evaluating the Efficacy of Robotic Assistance in Dental Implant Surgery: A Comparative Study in a Mongrel Dog Model
[Abstract]
[Objective]
This study evaluates the effectiveness of robotic assistance in implant surgery on a mongrel dog model, focusing on the surgical duration, precision, and stability of implant placements. The objective was to compare the chair time for patients and the accuracy of implant placements using a robot-assisted surgical approach against traditional methods.
[Method]
In this study, implant surgery on a mongrel dog was assessed using an implant surgery assistance robot. The mongrel dog used in the experiment had two implants placed on each side of the maxilla and three on each mandible side. Implant planning was based on CT scans, with the robot-assisted group undergoing precise implantation facilitated by an optical camera system for accurate calibration between the robot and the dog. Calibration of the position between the robot and the dog was achieved using an optical camera, employing tracking markers and jigs on both the dog and the robot. The control group underwent both guided and freehand surgeries for comparative analysis.
[Results and Discussion]
Results indicated that the robot-assisted surgeries achieved implant placements within four minutes per implant, with no significant deviation from the planned positions, demonstrating high precision and stability. The guided surgery in the control group showed similar timing and accuracy, whereas the freehand approach, despite the same duration per implant, exhibited less precision due to notable deviations from planned positions. These findings suggest that robotic assistance in dental implant surgeries can significantly enhance the accuracy and stability of implant placements, with efficiency on par with guided surgery but superior to freehand techniques. The study underscores the potential of robotic technology in advancing dental surgical practices and calls for further research into its clinical applications and the development of new treatment methodologies.
