Evaluation of Three Different Validation Procedures regarding the Accuracy of Template-Guided Implant Placement: An In Vitro Study

Abstract

The Triple Scan Technique as a system-independent validation procedure as well as the NobelGuide™ Validation software are in accordance with the AMIRA® software. The NobelGuide™ system showed similar or less spatial and angular deviations compared with others.

Fully Digital Workflow for Planning Static Guided Implant Surgery: A Prospective Accuracy Study

“…Skjerven et al [22] also concluded that the main deviation was angular in their clinical study. Many variables that could affect the accuracy of sGIS have been proposed and investigated, including the location of implant site [29][30][31], jaw position [5,18,32,33], alveolar bone quality [16,30], implant length [31,34], implant diameter [35], guide support [34,36], and the flap or flapless approach [1,4,20,36,37]. In the present study, however, none of the above-mentioned variables were found to have significant influence on the accuracy of sGIS.…”

A randomized clinical trial comparing guided implant surgery (bone‐ or mucosa‐supported) with mental navigation or the use of a pilot‐drill template

“…Vasak and co‐authors (Vasak et al. ) evaluated three different validation procedures, comparing a system‐independent validation procedure with two brand software systems and found similar deviations. One can conclude that the current validation procedures are reliable, but one has to take into account that the procedure by itself if not being applied by one examiner, can also be a source for inaccuracy.…”

Esthetics of Flapless Single‐Tooth Implants in the Anterior Maxilla Using Guided Surgery: Association of Three‐Dimensional Accuracy and Pink Esthetic Score

“…Postoperative CBCT scans were acquired with the same scanner and superimposed on the preoperative scans to assess the deviation at the implant shoulder and implant apex level, as well as the amount of angular deviation . Interoral photographs were taken at follow‐up visits using a Canon EOS 5D MK III (equipped with Macro Lens EF 100 mm 1:28 and Macro Ring Lite MR‐14EX; Canon Corp. (Tokyo, Japan) ) for objective evaluation of implant esthetics using the Pink Esthetic Score (PES) .…”
