Clinical study of immediate implant placement in posterior maxillary region assisted by dynamic real-time navigation: A randomized controlled trial.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the accuracy of the implant accuracy and clinical effect of navigation-assisted immediate implant placement (IIP) in the posterior maxillary tooth region.

METHODS

This study included 60 patients with 96 implants undergoing IIP in the posterior maxillary region from January 2021 to December 2022, stratified into dynamic navigation and freehand implant groups. All clinical indicators, including initial stability, implant deviation (entry point deviation, end point deviation, depth deviation and angle deviation), marginal bone resorption and implant success rate, were systematically recorded.

RESULTS

All implants were successfully placed with an average torque of (24.38 ± 1.84)N.cm. The mean entry point deviation, apex point deviation and angular deviation in the navigation group were significantly smaller than that of the freehand group (P < 0.05). Marginal bone resorption was significantly less in the navigated group than in the freehand group (P < 0.05). All dental implants were considered an operational success and the mean follow-up time was (27.8 ± 8.4) months.

CONCLUSION

The application of dynamic navigation-assisted immediate implant placement in the maxillary posterior region can achieve good implant accuracy and satisfactory clinical results.
