Private Practice New York Center for Orthognathic and Maxillofacial Surgery (NYCOMS) New York, New York
Dr. Jay Neugarten, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and early adopter of dental robotics, authored a landmark clinical paper on the accuracy and precision of robot-assisted implant surgery that was recently published in The International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants. Attendees will delve into the findings of his paper, “Accuracy and Precision of Haptic Robotic-Guided Implant Surgery in Large Consecutive Series,” which maintains that robotic guidance enables higher accuracy and statistically greater precision than any other surgical modality in use today. The session will explain how – in addition to poor esthetic outcomes – inaccurate implant placement can lead to intraoperative complications, patient discomfort and reduced implant longevity, making robotic-guided implant technology a strong alternative.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
Explore the findings of a large single-arm clinical study, which looked at various accuracy measures for 273 robot-guided endosteal implants placed over a two-year period.
Discuss how the accuracy and precision of robot-assisted implant surgery compares to other implant surgery methods, including static guides, dynamic computer navigation and freehand placement.
Understand the current state of robot-assisted implant surgery.
