Description
Jinyan Chen, Guanyu Su, Ziang Wu, and Feng Wang studied guided implant surgery in a 2025 lab study. Patients with no upper teeth often need tilted implants, and a navigation system steers the drill. Small guide markers fixed in the mouth let the system line up the scan with the real jaw.
The team tested five marker layouts on a model jaw fitted with sixteen mini screws. Some screws set the alignment, and others measured its error at target points. Marker layout, target site, and their interplay all shifted the error. Their results show which spread of markers keeps tilted implants on target most faithfully.
