Software system for implant positioning with guided surgery: An in vivo study

Accurate implant positioning is critical for the long-term success of dental rehabilitation, yet variations among computer-guided surgery software systems can affect precision. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the accuracy of two implant planning software systems, Exocad and Blueskybio, in guided implant placement. A total of 104 implants were placed in 52 patients using fully guided templates, and postoperative CBCTs were analyzed for angular, depth, and horizontal deviations from preoperative plans. Software System A demonstrated significantly lower angular and linear deviations than Software System B, indicating superior positional accuracy. Thus, we show the importance of selecting precise planning software to ensure optimal implant placement and improved clinical outcomes.
