Abstract: Due to the surrounding complex anatomical structures and the limited volume of zygoma bone, zygomatic implant placement is a highly technique-sensitive surgery. Clinically, applying a dynamic navigation system enables doctors to complete the implant placement under real-time monitoring, minimizing surgical risks and realizing preoperative planning. However, the dynamic navigation system still has an inevitable error caused by the type, distribution, and the number of registration markers, which will affect the registration accuracy, affecting the dynamic navigation accuracy at the surgery. The reduced precision of dynamic navigation surgery can cause serious surgical complications of zygomatic implant surgery. Furthermore, the operator’s familiarity with the dynamic navigation surgical process and proficiency in the zygomatic implant surgery may impact the final accuracy. This article summarizes the standard procedures and relevant factors that affect the accuracy of zygomatic implant surgery with a dynamic navigation system.
