Implantes dentários: vantagens e desvantagens da cirurgia guiada em comparação com a técnica convencional

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Dental implants are an effective solution for the oral rehabilitation of patients with tooth loss. Advances in imaging technologies have allowed the development of guided surgery, which offers greater precision in implant positioning compared to the conventional technique, which depends on the surgeon's skill. Both techniques have good success rates, but present significant differences in their advantages and challenges. OBJECTIVES: To compare the advantages and challenges of guided surgery compared to the conventional technique in the planning and execution of dental implants, based on the analysis of the current scientific literature. METHODOLOGY: This is a literature review aimed at evaluating the evidence on the advantages and challenges of guided surgery in the context of dental implants, comparing it with the conventional technique. The research will be conducted in scientific databases in the area of dentistry, with qualitative and quantitative analysis of the results found. RESULTS: The review is expected to provide a clear view of the advantages of guided surgery, such as greater precision in implant positioning and shorter surgical time, as well as the challenges, such as high cost and the need for more detailed preoperative planning. On the other hand, the conventional technique will also be discussed, highlighting its flexibility and dependence on the surgeon's skill. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The comparison between guided surgery and the conventional technique in the context of dental implants is relevant to clinical practice, as it offers essential information for choosing the best approach for each case, taking into account the advantages and challenges of each, in addition to their impacts on the patient's rehabilitation.
