Abstract: Objective To compare the accuracy and postoperative pain response of autonomous robotic and traditional free-hand implantations. Methods This study reviewed patients with dentition defects who underwent autonomous robotic (non-flap technique) and free-hand (flap technique) implantations at the Affiliated Hospital of Stomatology of the Zhejiang University School of Medicine from August 2022 to April 2023. Preoperative and postoperative cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) was used to compare the accuracy. The NRS score was applied to evaluate the pain response of patients in the first week after surgery. Results The linear and angular deviations in the robot group were significantly lower than those of the free-hand group [platform: (0.57±0.12)mm vs. (1.43±0.54)mm, apex: (0.59 ± 0.99)mm vs. (2.17±0.78)mm, angle: 1.13°±0.46 ° vs. 7.36°±4.02° (P < 0.05). ] NRS scores showed that patients in the robot group had a significantly lower pain response compared to the free-hand group on the 1st, 2nd, and 7th postoperative days. Conclusion The non-flap autonomous robotic implantation makes oral implant surgery more accurate and minimally invasive, and reduces the postoperative pain response, providing a promising alternative in the future clinical implant surgery.
