Precise implant placement is key to ensuring the success of dental implant surgery. Implant robotic systems have been increasingly adopted for clinical procedures because of their accuracy. Maxillary sinus floor elevation with the Disk-up Sinus Reamer (DSR) may be an effective solution for inadequate posterior maxillary bone height. This clinical treatment combined with an autonomous implant robot with DSR for maxillary sinus floor elevation with simultaneous dental implant surgery may be suitable for clinical practice.

A 57-year-old woman presented with a problem of decreased masticatory function associated with missing posterior teeth. The oral examination showed that her maxillary left first molar and mandibular right first molar were missing (Fig. 1A), with insufficient bone height at the left maxillary first molar location (Fig. 1B). The Ethics Committee approved this treatment.

The ADIR system integrated visual and force sensors, 3-dimensional (3D) visualization, and micromodular robotics (Fig. 2). At the

DISCUSSION

The precision of implant placement is critical to the success of implant therapy.4 Recently, computer-assisted surgery has been used for dental implant placement. However, sCAIS and dCAIS still have some technical shortcomings.6, 8, 15 Therefore, robotic-assisted dental implantation needs to be reformed and further developed. Nevertheless, the shortcomings of conventional implant surgery may be overcome with the ADIR system.21, 22

Maxillary sinus floor elevation is a frequently used procedure to

SUMMARY

This clinical report demonstrated the feasibility of the ADIR system in conjunction with DSR for maxillary sinus floor elevation with simultaneous dental implant surgery. This procedure achieved satisfactory clinical results. Clinical trials are necessary to provide more definitive support for the approach.
