Accuracy of AI Assisted Surgical Guide (AISG)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the accuracy of conventional static surgical guide and AI-assisted static surgical guide in implant placement in the esthetic zone of partially edentulous maxilla , This study will be carried out on patients seeking implant placement in partially edentulous esthetic zone of maxilla, selected from those who were referred to outpatient clinic of the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, Suez Canal University. The main research question is assessing what the difference is upon using AI-assisted surgical guide in terms of the accuracy of implant angular and linear deviation, and implant depth. The expected outcome is that The use of AI-assisted surgical guide in implant placement may provide higher accuracy and less deviation than the conventional static surgical guide. This clinical study will be conducted on 20 surgical guides for placement of 20 implants, divided into 2 groups: Group 1: 10 conventional computer-guided static guides for placement of 10 implants (as control group) Group 2: 10 AI-assisted static surgical guides for placement of 10 implants (as study group) The selected patients will get a pre operative CBCT scan and an intraoral scan then the guide design and generation will be performed using conventional software or AI integrated software according to randomization chart generated by "www.randomizer.org", and after the surgery of implant placement through the prefabricated guides the patients will get an immediate post operative CBCT scan.
