Current research status of static computer-aided implant surgery in the posterior region and complex cases

Abstract

This article explores the current research status of oral implant guides in the posterior teeth area and special cases, with a focus on analyzing the application, advantages, and disadvantages of static implant guides and digital implant guides. Traditional implant guides have certain limitations in operation and precision. However, digital implant guides have significantly enhanced the accuracy and safety of implantation through 3D printing and computer-aided technologies, reducing surgical risks and improving patient comfort and satisfaction. In the posterior teeth area, the utilization of digital implant guides can effectively handle special circumstances in the upper and lower posterior regions, such as patients with insufficient bone mass and limited mouth opening. Studies indicate that digital guides perform exceptionally well in immediate implantation and full-arch implantation, increasing the success rate and efficiency of the surgery. Simultaneously, in the special case of mandibular reconstruction, the introduction of digital technology assists surgeons in achieving higher treatment accuracy and reduces surgical time and trauma.
