Table 2 Advantages and disadvantages of robotic systems compared to static and dynamic systems. [7, 8, 11, 14,15,16,17]

From: Accuracy of implant placement with computer-aided static, dynamic, and robot-assisted surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials

 

Static system

Dynamic system

Robotic system

Advantage

- Physical guidance for implantation

- Real-time visual feedback to surgeons

- Combining the flexibility and visuality of dynamic navigation with the physical constraints of static guides results in high accuracy and dependability

Disadvantage

- Cannot be adjusted and may shift or fracture intraoperatively

- Utilization is restricted by undesirable water cooling, poor visibility, and the patient’s small mouth opening, particularly in posterior sites

- Marked learning curve

- Human errors, such as hand tremors, and the lack of experience of the surgeons

- Intrinsic errors from CBCT data acquisition, calibration, registration, and the error of the robotic arm

- Attachment of PMMA guides

- Time consuming

- High purchase cost
