Abstract

The insertion of dental implants into the atrophic edentulous maxilla is a challenge due to the limited vertical height (resorption of the alveolar bone crest and pneumatization of the maxillary sinuses following the extraction of the upper molars) as well as low bone density in that area.

The use of computer-aided implantology (CAI) helps the clinician transfer the implant prosthetic digital plan to the jaw using the entire available native bone.

Two computer-aided approaches are possible: one, with more than 20 years of history, is static CAI, which is represented by a system connecting a virtual project with its own physical object represented by surgical guides used to perform both osteotomies and implant seating, and the other is called dynamic computer-aided implantology (DCAI). Dynamic CAI is also divided into two possible different approaches that are currently used: one is referred to as robotics and the other is referred to as augmented reality, in which the operator collocated at the center of the surgery belongs to the augmented reality.

It works like a Global Positioning System (GPS) by making a triangulation with two cameras, a contra angle handpiece, and the patient’s jaw.

In this manner, on the screen, the clinician can follow the real-time drilling and implant placement process with a minimally invasive approach using the entire native bone.
