Dental implants are known as the “third set of teeth” of humans because of their durability and similarity to real teeth.
However, the biggest difficulty in dental implants is where the implants are best placed. How to reduce the precision deviation of surgical implants? In order to solve this pain point, not only the experience and ability of professional implant doctors are needed, but also high-precision digital implant technology and equipment are needed to assist doctors in completing the operation.
With the development of science and technology, today’s digital implant technology is constantly evolving in the most cutting-edge direction, which is robot-assisted dental implant technology. After more than 40 years of development, surgical robots are now quite mature and safe, and the famous Da Vinci surgical robot is one of the leaders.
In 2023, the Shenzhen Stomatological Hospital of Southern Medical University (Pingshan) in Pingshan District took the lead in applying two leading dental implant robots.
So far, more than 120 robot-assisted dental implant surgeries have been carried out, and more than 180 implants have been implanted, accounting for more than 50% of the number of robot dental implants in Shenzhen. Postoperative follow-up showed that the implants were all stable and good. 01. Robotic dental implants are accurate and safe, and it only takes 10 minutes to implant a tooth
Mr. Li, 40, had a molar on his left side removed five years ago, which caused inconvenience in eating, unilateral chewing, joint pain, and elongation of the opposing teeth. However, he was afraid of pain and wanted to implant a tooth but never dared to do so.
After hearing that the Shenzhen Stomatological Hospital (Pingshan) of Southern Medical University had introduced advanced dental implant technology, he came to the hospital for treatment. After evaluation, the hospital believed that the patient met the standards for robotic dental implants. In the outpatient implant surgery room, the doctor completed the precise implantation of the implant after the patient underwent a robot-assisted dental implant surgery that took only more than 10 minutes.
The postoperative CT showed that the implant implant axis was highly accurate and almost completely coincided with the pre-designed implant axis!
“I didn’t expect it to be painful at all, and there was not even any swelling. I really regret not coming earlier!” Mr. Li said happily after the operation.
