Aim: the aim of this in vitro study was to test whether the implant placement accuracy and the operating time can be influenced by the operator’s experience. Materials and methods: sixteen models underwent a (Cone Beam Computer Tomography) CBCT and implant positioning was digitally planned on this. The models were randomly assigned to four operators with different levels of surgical experience. One hundred and twelve implant sites were drilled using a dynamic navigation system and operating times were measured. Based on postoperative CBCTs, dental implants were virtually inserted and superimposed over the planned ones. Two-dimensional and 3D deviations between planned and virtually inserted implants were measured at the entry point and at the apical point. Angular and vertical errors were also calculated. Results: considering coronal and apical 3D deviations, no statistically significant differences were found between the four operators (p = 0.27; p = 0.06). Some vectorial components of the deviation at the apical point and the angular errors of some operators differed from each other. Conclusions: within the limitations of this study, dynamic navigation can be considered a reliable technique both for experienced and novice clinicians.

Dynamic Navigation is a computer-aided technology that allows the surgeon to track the grip instruments while preparing the implant site in real time based on radiological anatomy and accurate pre-operative planning. The support of this technology to the zygoma implant placement aims to reduce the risks and the errors associated with this complex surgical and prosthetic treatment. Various navigation systems are available to clinicians currently, distinguished by handling, reliability, and the associated economic and biological benefits and disadvantages. The present paper reports on the different protocols of dynamic navigations following a standard workflow in correlation with zygomatic implant supported rehabilitations and describes a case of maxillary atrophy successfully resolved with this technology. An innovative and minimally invasive dynamic navigation system, with the use of an intraoral anchored trust marker plate and a patient reference tool, has been adopted to support the accurate insertion of four zygomatic implants, which rapidly resolved maxillary atrophy from a 75-year-old male system. This approach provided an optimal implant placement accuracy reducing surgical invasiveness.

Objetivo: o objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar a precisão da posição de entrada, apical e angular da instalação de implantes utilizando um sistema guiado através de navegação dinâmica, e compará-lo à técnica sem utilização de guias, realizando cirurgias em ambientes clinicamente simulados. O estudo contemplou as medidas de precisão geral da instalação de implantes, realizada por estudantes de Odontologia utilizando planejamento virtual em modelos dentados. Métodos: dois estudantes de Odontologia sem experiência prévia em Implantodontia instalaram 44 implantes em modelos de mandíbula e maxila. O planejamento de todos os implantes foi realizado virtualmente. As imagens de tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC) foram importadas para um software e sobrepostas para realizar o planejamento virtual. Os primeiros 22 implantes foram instalados utilizando a técnica sem assistência. Os 22 implantes restantes foram instalados utilizando-se um sistema de navegação dinâmica. Novas tomadas tomográficas foram realizadas após a instalação dos implantes. Os dados das TCFCs de planejamento pré-operatório e pós-cirúrgicas foram enviados para análise comparativa. As técnicas guiada e livre foram comparadas entre si e também com a literatura sobre implantes instalados em modelos usando sistemas de guias estáticos e dinâmicos. Resultados: os implantes instalados utilizando o sistema de navegação dinâmica foram significativamente mais precisos, quando comparado à técnica livre. Conclusão: a cirurgia guiada por navegação dinâmica é precisa, promissora e de fácil aprendizado para cirurgiões-dentistas em início de carreira.

The purpose of this model-based study was to determine the accuracy of placing dental implants using a new dynamic navigation system. This investigation focuses on measurements of overall accuracy for implant placement relative to the virtual plan in both dentate and edentulous models, and provides a comparison with a meta-analysis of values reported in the literature for comparable static guidance, dynamic guidance, and freehand placement studies. This study involves 1 surgeon experienced with dynamic navigation placing implants in models under clinical simulation using a dynamic navigation system (X-Guide, X-Nav Technologies, LLC, Lansdale, Pa) based on optical triangulation tracking. Virtual implants were placed into planned sites using the navigation system computer. Post–implant placement cone-beam scans were taken. These scans were mesh overlaid with the virtual plan and used to determine deviations from the virtual plan. The primary outcome variables were platform and angular deviations comparing the actual placement to the virtual plan. The angular accuracy of implants delivered using the tested device was 0.89° ± 0.35° for dentate case types and 1.26° ± 0.66° for edentulous case types, measured relative to the preoperative implant plan. Three-dimensional positional accuracy was 0.38 ± 0.21 mm for dentate and 0.56 ± 0.17 mm for edentulous, measured from the implant apex.
