Abstract

Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate the user experience regarding template fabrication and dental implant surgery of a model-free, zero-setup static computer-guided surgery (CGS) system.
Materials and Methods
A survey consisting of 15 questions regarding the accuracy and convenience of the implant planning software was conducted from June 2020 to January 2021 at Dankook University Dental Hospital on six surgeons who had experience with the CGS system.
Results
Regarding the question about the convenience of registering cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data and surgical template in the planning software, 54.5% of surgeons answered “slightly convenient”. The responses to the question about the accuracy of the process of matching the CT data and the surgical template were “very accurate” and “slightly accurate” at 45.5%, respectively. As part of the surgical procedure, when questioned about the level of fitness after the template was installed, 72.7% answered that the movement was “adequate”. The answer that the amount of coolant through the irrigation hole was “slightly insufficient” during implant placement, accounted for 45.5% of the response. Regarding the subjective feeling about the accuracy of the implant after surgery, approximately 91.9% answered that it was “very accurate”.
Conclusion
The satisfaction level regarding the ease of planning and implant surgery and that with post-implantation accuracy was high.
