Reliability and accuracy of dynamic navigation for zygomatic implant placement.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To assess the accuracy of a real-time dynamic navigation system applied in zygomatic implant (ZI) surgery and summarize device-related negative events and their management.

Material and methods

Patients who presented with severely maxillary atrophy or maxillary defects and received dynamic navigation-supported ZI surgery were included. The deviations of entry, exit, and angle were measured after image data fusion. A linear mixed-effects model was used. Statistical significance was defined as p < .05. Device-related negative events and their management were also recorded and analyzed.

Results

Two hundred and thirty-one zygomatic implants (ZIs) with navigation-guided placement were planned in 74 consecutive patients between Jan 2015 and Aug 2020. Among them,
