Prosthetically driven robot-assisted implant surgery : turning a major failure into a simple case

This case report presents a challenging case of catastrophic failure of a fixed partial denture involving fracture of the prosthesis as well as supporting implants and teeth. The use of robotics facilitated efficient and successful restoration of the patient's dentition. After extraction of 2 fractured teeth and 1 fractured implant, 2 new implants were placed with haptic guidance from robotics, which allowed for stable osteotomies and high initial implant stability quotients. Due to the patient's tremors and heavy occlusal forces, restoration was delayed to allow the surgical site to heal, and the patient received a provisional partial denture. With subsequent placement of the final restoration, the treatment was fully completed in 4.5 months and required only a single surgical procedure. The use of haptic robotics in this case allowed for accurate planning, spacing, and placement of screw-retained implants with an optimal arch, leading to the best long-term outcome for the patient.
