Objective To evaluate the effect of different optical tracking systems on the surgical accuracy of the dental implant robot for clinical application. Methods Visible light guidance and infrared light guidance were integrated into the experimental platform of the implant robot. After planning the implant position and path, the robot prepared the implant beds on the modular dentition defect implant models autonomously. 20 implant beds were prepared under each guidance. After the preparation, CBCT scanned the implant models, reconstructed the three-dimensional shape of the implant beds and compared them with the planned implant position to obtain the shoulder deviation, root deviation and angle deviation. An independent sample t-test was performed to analyze the effect of the two optical tracking systems on the accuracy of the dental implant robot. Results The mean and standard deviation of shoulder deviation, root deviation and angle deviation of the preparation guided by infrared light guidance were （0.39±0.14）mm,（0.60±0.19）mm and（2.03±0.84）degrees. The mean and standard deviation of shoulder deviation, root deviation and angle deviation of the preparation guided by visible light guidance were （0.57±0.21） mm,（0.89±0.30）mm and（3.08±1.13）degrees. The results of the independent sample t-test showed that there was a significant difference in the accuracy of implant bed preparation guided by two different principles of optical tracking systems (P<0.05). Conclusion The results of the in vitro model experiments showed that the deviation of the surgical accuracy of the dental implant robot guided by visible light is greater than that guided by infrared light.

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.

Objective To investigate the accuracy error of dental implant robots in immediate and delayed implantation. Methods Implant patients who met the requirements of implant restoration treatment were divided into two groups: immediate implant (n=4) and delayed implant (n=6). Each group was implanted with a dental implant robot. Preoperative CBCT, implant position design, surgical procedure planning, robotic arm registration and alignment were routinely performed, and implant socket preparation and implant placement were performed by the robot. The implant placement error was analyzed by CBCT after surgery. Results The dental implant robot surgery was successfully completed, and there were no complications during and after the surgery. The deviation of the implant depth at the apical point was (0.25±0.13) mm in the immediate the implant group and (-0.88±0.49) mm in the delayed implant group, and the deviation of the implant angle was 1.38°±0.14° in the immediate implant group and 0.59°±0.08° in the delayed implant group. There was a statistical difference between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The dental implant robot showed good accuracy in both immediate and delayed implantation. The accuracy of the implant point and the apical point of the dental implant robot during immediate implantation is close, and the angle deviation is greater than that of the delayed implant.

The application of robot technology in the field of oral implantology is in the rise. The robotic system enables higher accuracy in dental implant site preparation and implant placement, making the implant surgery more personalized and predictable. As a complex surgery in dental implantology, zygomatic implant surgery requires higher accuracy due to its long drilling path, complex adjacent anatomical structures, and poor view. These problems also increase the difficulty of zygomatic implant surgery. Robotic technology seems to be an efficient method to improve the accuracy and predictability of zygomatic implantation surgery. This review introduces the composition, principle, research progress, and clinical application of robotic system for zygomatic implant surgery, and discusses the optimization considerations of the robotic system.

Objective Based on finite element analysis, the stress and displacement distributions of the titanium mesh were analyzed under different thicknesses, different porosities and different rod diameter of the fillings of the convention unit cell structure in response to vertical external forces. The results of the analysis can provide a biomechanical basis for the design of personalized titanium mesh when used to guide bone regeneration in the treatment of jawbone defects. Methods The mandible of a patient with 31-32 defects was used as a study carrier for small-sized titanium mesh (S-type), and the mandible of a patient with 33-37 defects was used for large-sized titanium mesh (L-type). A 3D model reconstruction of the jaws was performed for their CBCT images, respectively. Based on this, titanium mesh with different thicknesses, porosities, and rod diameters was designed, and 3D finite element models were established. The stress and displacement distribution of the titanium mesh under stress conditions was analyzed by FEM analysis. Results With an increase in titanium mesh thickness, the stresses and displacements of titanium mesh show a decreasing trend; with an increase in the porosity of titanium mesh, the stresses and displacement of titanium mesh show an increasing trend; with an increase in the diameter of the titanium mesh rod, the stress and displacement of S-type titanium mesh showed a decreasing trend, while the stress and displacement of L-type titanium mesh showed no obvious trend. Conclusion The stress values of all titanium meshes are within the safe equivalent stress range with sufficient strength for thicknesses of 0.4 mm and above, considering that too thick titanium mesh will stimulate the mucosa, 0.4mm thickness titanium mesh is more suitable for clinical needs; stress values were within the safe equivalent force range for S-type with 55% porosity and below, and L-type with 55%~68% porosity, with sufficient strength, increasing the porosity of titanium mesh can provide more adequate blood channels to the mucosa, reducing the risk of mucosal ischemia atrophy and cracking, L-type titanium mesh should try to choose 68% porosity, S-type titanium mesh should choose 55% porosity; S-type titanium mesh rod diameter at 0.7 mm and above, L-type titanium mesh rod diameter at 0.5 mm and above, can meet the strength requirements , comprehensive porosity and other comprehensive factors, considering that the larger the rod diameter, the mucosal stimulation increases, so the 0.7 mm rod diameter titanium mesh is more suitable for clinical needs.

Objective To study the mechanical properties of Gyroid structures with different porosity and gradient porosity, and to design and prepare a new type of porous implant. Methods Gyroid structure models with homogeneous porosity of 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80% and 60%~80% gradient were established by MSLattice and Magics software. The mechanical properties of Gyroid structures with different porosity were compared by finite element analysis and mechanical compression test respectively. A new porous implant was designed and fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM). Results As the porosity increases, the elastic modulus and compressive strength of the Gyroid structure decreased. At the same porosity, the differences in the elastic modulus of the Gyroid structures were not statistically significant (P>0.05), and the maximum compressive strengths of the gradient Gyroid structures were lower than those of the homogeneous porosity Gyroid structures. Conclusion The gradient Gyroid structure matches the elastic modulus of cortical bone and cancellous bone, and the strength is similar to that of human bone, which has excellent mechanical properties and is expected to be used in dental implants.
