Static computer-aided implant surgery (s-CAIS) analysing patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), economics and surgical complications: A systematic review.

The number of identified studies investigating s-CAIS for PROMs was low. Scientifically proven recommendations for clinical routine cannot be given at this time; however, the number of clinical complications with s-CAIS seems to be negligible and comparable to conventional implant surgery. s-CAIS may offer a beneficial treatment option in edentulous cases if a flapless approach is applicable. Nevertheless, the economic effects in terms of time efficiency and treatment costs are unclear. Clinical investigations with well-designed RCTs investigating PROMs with standardized parameters are compellingly necessary for the field of s-CAIS.
