Validation of Accuracy Analysis for Zygomatic Dental Implants

Measuring the accuracy of dental implants is important not only for the technical refinement of the individual clinician, but also for developing novel techniques to narrow the gap between the surgical plan and the actual outcome. Zygomatic dental implants (ZI) pose greater challenges because small errors can propagate significantly at the apical level, which commonly has important structures such as the orbital contents and deep vessels. Current analysis methods are largely limited to manual measurement of linear and angular errors, which is prone to human error and bias.
