Summary:Zygomatic implants (ZIs) can be a treatment option for patients with severe atrophy in the maxilla, but deviation during ZI placement could lead to serious complications. Surgical guides and dynamic navigation have been used to improve the accuracy of ZI placement, but both techniques are subject to human error. A 2-stage technique is described that enabled an autonomous dental robot to overcome mouth-opening restrictions for ZI placement. The technique enables the complete digitalization of ZI placement, further improving the accuracy of the drilling process.
