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.

In order to understand the spatial development of polymerization shrinkage stress in dental resin-composite restorations, Digital Image Correlation was used to provide full-field displacement/strain measurement of restored model glass cavities by correlating images of the restoration taken before and after polymerization.
FAQs
Angulation and depth determine how the implant relates to available bone, the planned prosthesis, and nearby anatomy. A position that maintains adequate bone support while avoiding the nerves and maxillary sinus can improve the conditions for primary stability and subsequent healing. These geometric choices therefore connect surgical safety with the functional and esthetic demands of the restoration.
Primary stability is the early mechanical steadiness of an implant in the jawbone. In dental implant positioning, adequate bone support and suitable three-dimensional placement help establish this condition. It matters because accurate positioning supports appropriate healing and osseointegration, the biological process associated with implant integration, helping create a foundation for the planned prosthesis.
Prosthetic requirements shape the planned implant position because the implant must support a restoration that functions and meets esthetic goals. Positioning is therefore not based on bone availability alone. Clinicians balance the intended prosthesis with three-dimensional location, angulation, and depth, using that relationship to support predictable restoration rather than treating surgery as an isolated step.
Diagnostic imaging and anatomical assessment help determine whether the proposed location offers adequate bone support and whether important structures create constraints. In particular, planning must account for nerves and the maxillary sinus before surgery. This information helps clinicians refine the implant’s three-dimensional position, angulation, and depth, or recognize when available anatomy may be insufficient.
Computer-assisted or template-based surgery can translate the planned implant position into a guided surgical approach. These tools help coordinate the intended three-dimensional location with anatomical limits and prosthetic requirements. Their role is to guide placement planning and execution, supporting a more predictable implant restoration when the treatment plan has been appropriately established.
Bone grafting becomes relevant when the available anatomy cannot provide sufficient support for the planned implant position. Rather than selecting a position that compromises bone support or conflicts with nearby structures, clinicians can use the anatomical assessment to inform whether grafting should be considered. This decision connects evaluation of the jawbone with later implant planning and restoration.
