Augmented Reality Improves Accuracy of Dynamic Computer-Assisted Implant Surgery: An In Vitro Analysis.
Article in Clinical oral implants research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo assess the accuracy of dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery (dCAIS) performed with and without augmented reality (AR) smart-glasses visualization under standardized laboratory conditions. MATERIALS AND
methodsA standardized typodont model with bounded and unbounded edentulous spaces was prepared to receive polyurethane blocks. Five implants were virtually planned using implant-planning software, and the plan was transferred to a miniaturized dynamic navigation system. Forty simulated surgeries (n = 40; total 200 osteotomies) were performed under two conditions: (a) standard screen-based guidance (dCAIS) and (b) smart-glasses guidance (dCAIS+SG) projecting real-time navigation data into the operator's field of view. Postoperative CBCT scans were used to compare planned and achieved osteotomies. The 3D deviation at the crestal level was defined as the primary outcome parameter. Means, standard deviations, and 95% confidence intervals were calculated, and data were analyzed using paired t-tests (trueness and precision).
resultsThe mean 3D deviation at the crest was significantly lower with smart-glasses visualization (dCAIS: 0.32 ± 0.17 mm; dCAIS+SG: 0.27 ± 0.16 mm; p = 0.02), primarily due to reduced 2D mesiodistal deviation (0.20 ± 0.16 mm vs. 0.09 ± 0.07 mm; p < 0.0001). Angular deviation remained low and comparable between groups (0.40° ± 0.31° vs. 0.34° ± 0.35°; p = 0.2). Both workflows exhibited similar precision across all parameters.
conclusionAR smart-glasses enhanced the trueness of dynamic navigation without affecting precision. Integrating AR into dCAIS enables continuous visualization of navigational data, potentially improving ergonomic workflow and maintaining visual focus on the surgical field.
