Computer Guided/Robotic Implant Placement

The most important factor in determining the results of your implant placement and its long term success is the surgeon, not his instruments.

Studies by the Mayo Clinic and other institutions have shown that the experience and skill of the surgeon is the most important factor in determining the outcome of surgery.

A computer guided or “robotic” tool is just an aid and has limitations and technical complexity that can cause error. Some of these tools are adequate for certain cases and not others, adding significant cost, time, patient inconvenience and error. 

Computer generated surgical guides are a very good alternative to “robotic”/guided procedures. These guides have been used successfully for decades.
