Publication number: 20210346099Abstract: A dental implantation system and navigation method are provided. The dental implantation system includes: a multi-axis robotic arm having an action end connected to a dental implantation device; and at least one optical device coupled to the multi-axis robotic arm to capture a real-time image information about an implant-receiving region of an implant-receiving patient during a dental implantation process. The multi-axis robotic arm drives the dental implantation device moving along a predetermined path in the implant-receiving region according to association result of a pre-implantation plan and the real-time image information. The pre-implantation plan is associated with a 3D model of the implant-receiving region and includes a predetermined entry point associated with the predetermined path, at least one predetermined relay point associated with the predetermined path, and a predetermined target point associated with the predetermined path.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2019Publication date: November 11, 2021Inventors: Chieh Hsiao Chen, Kuan Ju Wang, Chih-Yu An, Shih-Wei Huang, Wen-Ling Chen
