Computer-Assisted Implant Surgery: Implications for Teaching, Learning, and Educational Strategies.
Review in Clinical and experimental dental research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis white paper aimed to discuss educational strategies for teaching and learning of computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS) within the wider dental curriculum, including the pedagogy, technologies, and challenges. MATERIAL AND
methodsA review of the available literature up to February 2025 was conducted, compiling existing evidence related to the application of CAIS in dental education, both through simulation and in clinical care. The findings were further integrated with expert opinions and current best practices in dental education in a panel discussion.
resultsGuided CAIS demonstrated potential to enhance implant placement accuracy and increase confidence among novice surgeons. Dynamic CAIS (d-CAIS) could support broader cognitive and surgical skill development, whereas static CAIS (s-CAIS) showed limited utility as a comprehensive educational instrument. The sequence of learning between guided and non-guided techniques appears to be less critical than ensuring proficiency in both. Competence development with d-CAIS is incremental, unlike s-CAIS, where progress might be faster but involves mainly procedural skills. Key challenges remain for the implementation of CAIS in educational structures such as limited faculty expertise, high costs of digital equipment, limited interoperability of digital systems, and ethical or legal concerns regarding autonomy of technologies.
conclusionCAIS has shown to be a valuable tool in teaching implant dentistry; its proper integration into dental education enhances the learners' experience and offers significant benefits for developing overall surgical competences. Current educational research is limited and primarily focused on the accuracy of implant placement, while practice of CAIS entails a very wide set of parameters encompassing the clinician, the workflow, the institution or clinic, and the patient. Future studies targeting educational interventions with a wider array of outcome measures would be required to help design effective educational strategies with CAIS.
