Dynamic computer-aided implant surgery (DCAIS) is a controlled implant surgical placement method performed without a surgical template using optical control. The real-time intraoperative control of movement and position of the surgical device simplifies the procedure and gives more freedom to the surgeon, providing similar precision as static navigation methods.

FAQs
Stability can come from the device matching the surrounding anatomy, from mechanical fixation, or from both working together. Anatomical fit helps position the implant appropriately, while fixation secures it against movement during and after surgery. The balance between these factors affects how well the implant supports or replaces function and can influence later healing and performance.
Accurate positioning places the device where it can best support the damaged structure or function it is intended to address. It also helps clinicians align the implant with surrounding anatomy and prepare for effective fixation. Because positioning influences stability, function, and complication risk, it is a central consideration during planning and the operation itself.
After placement, healing may stabilize an implant through tissue integration, in which the surrounding tissue becomes part of the implant’s longer-term support. This process is distinct from the initial placement and fixation steps, because it develops during recovery rather than being created solely by the surgeon. Its relevance is greatest when long-term stability and device performance are evaluated.
The procedure begins with planning the implant’s location, followed by preparation of the surrounding tissue. Clinicians then position the device and secure it through anatomical fit, mechanical fixation, or a combination of both. Subsequent healing may further stabilize the implant through tissue integration, so the workflow includes both the operation and the recovery process that follows it.
Clinical applications include orthopedic, dental, and other reconstructive treatments. In these settings, an implant may replace, support, or augment a damaged structure or function. The specific purpose differs across procedures, but each application depends on selecting an appropriate location, preparing nearby tissue, and achieving sufficient stability for the intended treatment outcome.
The technique connects device design with clinical performance because implant materials, tissue responses, positioning, and fixation all affect what happens after surgery. Studying these relationships can guide surgical planning, biomaterials development, and evaluation of patient outcomes. Researchers also consider long-term device performance, including how healing and stability influence continued function and complication risk.
