A Paradigm Shift in Dental Care: Augmented Reality in Practice
Augmented Reality (AR) technology, leveraging Apple’s handheld devices and the Vision Pro headset, is finding its application in dentistry, specifically within dental implant procedures.
This solution provides the surgeon with an intraoperative, three-dimensional visual overlay of the surgical field, facilitating a new level of precision and safety in both implantology and surgical protocols.
The system integrates imaging data, 3D visualization, and pre-operative implant planning with the live surgical site, eliminating dependence on conventional surgical stents. It empowers the clinician to make dynamic, real-time corrections to the implant trajectory, ensuring optimal placement within the patient’s bone structure.
/01
No Need for 3D-Printed Physical Guides
AR technology completely eliminates the need for physical, 3D-printed surgical stents. This removes the risk of template misfit or improper seating, a common source of error that can lead to incorrect implant placement.
/02
Unimpeded Saline Irrigation
Traditional guides often deflect irrigation, hindering the clearance of bone debris and intraoperative cooling of the osteotomy channel. With AR, the surgical field stays perfectly accesable for coolant, eliminating the problem entirely.
/03
Real-Time, Intraoperative Trajectory Adjustment
Unlike static surgical guides that lock in a single pre-planned position, AR allows surgeons to dynamically modify the implant placement plan during the procedure itself. This provides unparalleled flexibility and enhances surgical accuracy by adapting to real-time conditions.
/04
Unobstructed, Direct Visual Field
AR overlays digital guidance directly onto the surgeon’s view of the actual surgical site. This allows for continuous, real-time observation without the need to look away at a separate screen or use mirrors. Furthermore, unlike most 3D-printed guides, the AR interface does not physically obstruct the surgical field, significantly improving precision and procedural safety.
/05
Enhanced Adaptation to Patient-Specific Anatomy
AR technology provides superior visualization of a patient’s unique anatomical structures. This level of detailed, interactive insight is unachievable to replicate with printed guides technology, allowing for a truly personalized surgical approach.
