Augmented and mixed reality in implant dentistry: a scoping review exploring clinician- and patient-reported outcomes.

This scoping review highlights the growing interest in augmented and mixed reality technologies in implant dentistry. More studies have focused on clinician-reported outcomes, particularly related to the accuracy of implant placement and workflow integration. However, patient-reported outcomes remain underexplored. Preliminary findings suggest that AR and MR technologies are feasible and may increase workflow efficiency. Further research is needed to fully evaluate the impact of AR and MR technologies across the entire digital workflow in implant dentistry and to better understand benefits from both clinical and patient perspectives.
