Abstract

Abstract: Objective: To systematically evaluate the scientific literature for patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) in static computer‐aided implant surgery (s‐CAIS). Methods: A PICO strategy was executed using an electronic (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL), plus manual search up to 15‐06‐2017 focusing on clinical studies investigating s‐CAIS with regard to patients' pain & discomfort, economics and/or intra‐operative complications. Search strategy was assembled from multiple conjunctions of MeSH Terms and unspecific free‐text words. Assessment of risk of bias in selected studies was made at a "trial level" applying the Cochrane Collaboration Tool and the Newcastle–Ottawa Assessment Scale, respectively. Results: The systematic search identified 112 titles. Seventy abstracts were screened, and 14 full texts were included for analysis. A total of 484 patients were treated with s‐CAIS for placement of 2, 510 implants. Due to the heterogeneity of the included studies, meta‐analyses could not be performed. Conclusions: 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.
