Trueness of implant placement, safety and surgeon experience with dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery : a prospective multi-centre cohort study.
Article in International journal of implant dentistry, 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
purposeThis prospective multi-centre cohort study aims to evaluate the trueness and safety of implant placement using a Dynamic Navigation System (DNS) for implant bed preparation. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 109 dental implants were inserted using a DNS for implant bed preparation in 76 patients by five experienced surgeons in four study centres. Before implantation, a preoperative CBCT scan was performed for each patient. This was subsequently aligned with an intraoral scan. After digital planning of the implant position, a holding tray for the intra-oral marker was designed and printed with a 3D printer. Procedure duration as well as adverse events were recorded. After implant bed preparation with DNS, the implants were placed in a freehand manner. Postoperative surface scans were superimposed onto the pre-operative planning data to evaluate the angular and spatial deviations. Descriptive statistics were followed by a one-sided, one-sample t-test to compare the data with performance goals extracted from literature-based benchmark data from freehand surgery.
resultsThe overall mean angular deviation was 3.37°±2.01° with a minimum of 0.20° and a maximum of 11.10°. The mean mesiodistal and orovestibular deviation at implant tip was 1.18 ± 0.66 mm. 3D deviation at implant base showed a mean ± SD of 1.24 ± 0.65 mm. No Serious Adverse Device Effects (SADE) were reported. The angular and mesiodistal, and orovestibular deviations were significantly better than the performance goals from freehand surgery (P<.001). The mean VAS was of 87.5 ± 14.3.
conclusionsThe study-related DNS demonstrates trueness, safety and surgeon satisfaction.
