Inclusion and exclusion criteria for selecting the research articles.

Issue Inclusion Exclusion
Language English Non-English
Publication type Peer-reviewed academic journals Non-indexed journal publications
Study Design In vitro studies in which implants were placed on edentulous or partially edentulous resin jaw models Case reports, case series, clinical studies, electronic posters, animal studies, reviews, cadaver studies, and non-peer-reviewed reports
Availability Available online (abstract and full text) and/or print on bibliographic databases Not available on bibliographic databases
Time period January 2013 to July 2023 Prior to December 2012
Articles included and data extraction Agreement between two independently working authors Disagreement between the two independently working authors
Sample size Studies in which more than ten implants were placed using robotic surgery (including pilot studies); power analysis was performed, and the sample size requirements were met Studies that evaluated the accuracy of robotically placed implants but did not compare them to the accuracy of implants placed via static/dynamic navigation, or the freehand technique
Relevance/conditions Studies that compared the accuracy of implants placed with the help of robotics to those placed via other techniques (static navigation and dynamic navigation of freehand techniques) Studies that evaluated orthodontic retention mini-implants and pterygoid implants
Outcome parameters Studies that documented and compared the following minimal parameters: coronal, apical, and angular deviation Studies that compared the accuracy of implants placed via techniques other than robotics (static navigation and dynamic navigation of freehand technique)
