“…Implant dentistry is evolving and digital implant surgery is becoming standard in everyday practice. Thus more prosthetically driven implant placement and better Computer-Aided Design (CAD) prostheses with cleansable and retrievable features should be planned and delivered (34). We all have to learn from the accumulated scientific and clinical knowledge, optimize implant and prosthetic planning to achieve better and complication-free long-term outcomes.…”

Background and Objective: "All-on-four" is a popular protocol due to shortened treatment time and financial feasibility. This has also been justified by the high survival rates of 95.4% over 7 years. However, the prevalence of peri-implant diseases is still not well explored. A review of the literature was performed to identify prevalence of peri-implant diseases in patients restored with full-arch four implants supported fixed restorations.Methods: This review used electronic literature search of PubMed database to obtain recent and the most relevant English-language scientific information from previous systematic reviews, consensus statements, and clinical trials published between 1995-2021.

“…Inaccurate implant positioning may not only involve esthetic impairments of implant restorations but may also result in complications related to implant failure [ 2 ]. Although the implant position can be estimated by standardizing the two-dimensional intraoral or panoramic radiographs [ 3 , 4 ], cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) allows 3D visualization of dentoalveolar structures at a lower radiation dosage than with helical computed tomography (CT); CBCT has popularized computer-assisted or computer-guided implant surgery for the last two decades [ 5 ]. Computer-assisted implant surgery allows optimal prosthetic and surgical treatment planning and accurate implant placement according to the patient’s anatomic condition [ 6 ].…”

“…sCAIS is a system that transfers the predetermined virtual implant position to the surgical site through a physical surgical guide (template) [ 7 ]. On the basis of the virtual treatment plan, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) procedures such as additive printing or subtractive milling are normally used for fabricating surgical guides, and stereolithography (SLA) rapid prototyping is currently the most widely used technique for making the CAD/CAM surgical guide [ 5 ]. Compared with dynamic navigation, sCAIS has easier intraoperative handling of the surgical templates, requires no additional equipment, and requires less time for the presurgical set-up and intraoperative application.…”

This study compared the accuracy of static computer-assisted implant surgery (sCAIS) planned through dental surface image registration and fiducial marker registration. Stone models of 30 patients were converted into digital dental casts by using a desktop scanner. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed and superimposed to the digital dental casts with two methods: matching the dental surface images or matching the fiducial markers on a stereolithographic radiographic template. Following the implant planning, stereolithographic surgical guides were fabricated, and 56 fully guided implants were inserted by the same doctor. Deviations between planned and inserted implants were measured and compared using postoperative CBCT images. After adjustment for other potential influencing factors, compared with the fiducial marker registration group, significantly larger mean lateral deviations were noted in the dental surface registration group at both the implant platform and apex (p = 0.0188 and 0.0371, respectively). However, the mean lateral deviations for the dental surface registration (0.83 ± 0.51 mm at implant platform and 1.24 ± 0.68 mm at implant apex) were comparable to the literature. In conclusion, our findings indicate that although sCAIS planned using dental surface image registration was not statistically as accurate as that using fiducial marker registration, its accuracy was satisfactory for clinical use.
