Application of Dynamic Navigation, Virtual Reality, and Universal Robot in Dental Implantology - Ashwini Abhay Bhalerao; Ashraf Farouk Ayoub; Abdul Wahab Usman (Indian Journal of Dental Research)
In recent years, technological advancements have revolutionized the landscape of dental implantology, paving the way for more precise, efficient, and patient-friendly procedures. This paper reviews this approach that integrates DN, Virtual Reality (VR), and Universal Robot (UR) systems to enhance the efficacy of zygomatic implant placement and overcome the limitations of conventional procedures. Dynamic Navigation (DN) offers real-time, three-dimensional guidance during implant placement, enabling precise positioning and optimal implant angulation. By incorporating DN into the workflow, clinicians can navigate anatomical complexities with unprecedented precision, minimizing the risk of surgical errors and enhancing patient outcomes.Virtual Reality (VR) technology immerses clinicians in a simulated environment, providing realistic training scenarios and procedural planning. By leveraging VR, practitioners can simulate complex dental implant surgeries, refine their skills, and anticipate potential challenges before stepping into the operating room, thereby improving surgical proficiency and patient safety. The integration of Universal Robot (UR) systems introduces automation and robotic assistance into the implantology workflow, augmenting the capabilities of dental professionals and ensuring consistent, reproducible results. UR systems enable precise drilling, implant placement, and tissue manipulation, reducing procedural variability and optimizing implant success rates. This innovative integration of DN, VR, and UR systems represents a paradigm shift in dental implantology, offering clinicians unprecedented precision, efficiency, and predictability. By harnessing the synergies of these cutting-edge technologies, dental professionals can elevate the standard of care, redefine treatment protocols, and ultimately enhance patient satisfaction and oral health outcomes.
