Does Computer-Assisted Surgery Improve the Accuracy of Immediate Implant Placement? A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This systematic review and network meta-analysis aimed to answer the PICO question: In patients undergoing immediate implant placement (IIP) [P], does Computer-Assisted Implant Surgery (CAIS) [I] lead to higher accuracy [O] compared to free-hand (FH) [C] implant placement?

Methods

A systematic search of MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane databases was conducted for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) published between January 2014 and September 2024, comparing accuracy of CAIS and FH for IIP. Two reviewers screened the studies and extracted data for a network meta-analysis.

Results

Of 2064 records screened, 7 RCTs (338 implants and 291 patients) met the inclusion criteria. These RCTs evaluated FH and dynamic, full static, and partial static CAIS for single or partial imp
