# Software system for implant positioning with guided surgery: An in vivo study

## TL;DR

This study compares two software systems for dental implant placement accuracy in real patients.

## Contribution

The study empirically compares the accuracy of Exocad and Blueskybio in guided implant surgery.

## Key findings

- Software System A showed significantly lower angular and linear deviations than System B.
- Using precise planning software improves implant placement accuracy and clinical outcomes.

## Abstract

Accurate implant positioning is critical for the long-term success of dental rehabilitation, yet variations among computer-guided
surgery software systems can affect precision. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the accuracy of two implant planning software
systems, Exocad and Blueskybio, in guided implant placement. A total of 104 implants were placed in 52 patients using fully guided
templates, and postoperative CBCTs were analyzed for angular, depth, and horizontal deviations from preoperative plans. Software System
A demonstrated significantly lower angular and linear deviations than Software System B, indicating superior positional accuracy. Thus,
we show the importance of selecting precise planning software to ensure optimal implant placement and improved clinical outcomes.
