This retrospective study aimed to investigate the accuracy of robot-assisted implant surgery and identify the factors influencing it. Patients with single or multiple missing teeth were enrolled in the robot-assisted implant surgery. The patients underwent cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) using a marker. Virtual implant placement and a drilling sequence were planned prior to surgery. The robotic arm automatically performed the implant osteotomy and placement under the surgeon's supervision. A postoperative CBCT scan was performed to evaluate deviations between the planned and placed implants. A total of 152 implants were successfully inserted into the jawbones of 100 patients without any adverse surgical events. However, two implants were observed to fail early ( 0.05). Robot-assisted dental implant surgery resulted in an accurate placement performance. Further studies are required to clarify long-term effects.
