Abstract

Currently, the process of installing dental implants is carried out using mechanical devices and navigation templates for dental procedures. However, the use of this equipment does not completely eliminate the negative impact of the “human factor”. In 2018, prof. A. V. Ivaschenko was the first in the Russian Federation to develop a dental concept based on the automation of surgical interventions using digital robotic platforms. The introduction of robotic assistance capabilities allows the dentist to complement clinical thinking with high manual precision provided by robots. The evolution of surgical technologies in medicine is aimed at integrating mechatronic devices, but their successful implementation is due to the need for fundamental justification and a systematic approach. The authors set a goal — to install a cylindrical dental implant in a fixed jaw of an experimental animal using a robot and histologically prove the effectiveness of the proposed method. A robot has been created for experimental use in dental implantology. In 2019, for the first time in the Russian Federation, an experimental study was conducted on the installation of a dental cylindrical implant using the method of prof. A.V. Ivaschenko using a robot.
Materials and methods.
The study was conducted on a Vietnamese pot-bellied piglet. Radiological data indicate reliable stabilization of the installed implant and the normal type of bone tissue.
Results.
Histological examination of the tissues surrounding the dental implant showed the absence of inflammation in the mucous membrane. By six months after installation, the implant is firmly integrated into the surrounding bone tissue, and pathological mobility is not observed. The analysis revealed a tight fit of the proper plate of the mucous membrane of the gum (lamina propria) both to the surface of the implant and to the cortical layer of the alveolar bone. Lamina propria is represented by densely fibrous connective tissue: in the peripheral areas, thick collagen bundles predominate, and in the area of contact with the implant, thinner and loosely located fibrillar structures. The integrity of the covering multilayered squamous epithelium is preserved. The bone tissue surrounding the implant is histologically normal.
Conclusions.
The obtained histological data indicate a high prognostic potential of robotic installation of dental implants.
