Abstract:Background: For experienced clinicians, fully-guided implant surgery could lead to higher accuracy than conventional surgery. The benefit of digital guidance for implant surgery by dental students is unknown. Accuracy is documented as 3D measures of the global distance and angular deviation between the virtually planned and actual implant position. The clinical applicability of these variables may increase if additional information was reported, i.e. direction of deviation from the ideal implant position. Aim/… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
