Key Points

This study aims to compare the accuracy of robotic arm-assisted and dynamic navigation systems in placing mandibular dental implants.
Conducted an in-vitro comparison of two implant placement systems: robotic arm-assisted and dynamic navigation.
Measured linear deviations and angular measurements for both systems during the implant placement process.
Analyzed clinical significance of observed deviations based on established benchmarks.
D-CAIS (dynamic navigation) showed higher accuracy in linear deviations for mandibular implants.
R-CAIS (robotic arm) had greater consistency in angular measurements, though no significant differences were found.
Observed deviations were small and considered to have limited clinical significance.

Abstract

D-CAIS demonstrated higher accuracy in mandibular implant placement, particularly in terms of linear deviations, while R-CAIS showed greater consistency in angular measurements despite no significant difference between groups. Overall, the observed deviations were small and are of limited clinical significance. These findings reflect system-level performance in a controlled laboratory setting, further clinical studies are required to validate these results in vivo.
