ITI White Papers on Computer-Assisted Implant Surgery (CAIS)
On November 19, 2024, the ITI Conference on Computer-Assisted Implant Surgery brought together leading researchers and clinicians in Bangkok, Thailand for a groundbreaking exchange on the future of digitally supported implant treatment. Designed as the launchpad for a global expert network, the conference focused on defining the current state of the art, identifying clinical needs, and shaping a strategic path forward for the development and implementation of computer-assisted technologies in implant dentistry.
Through dynamic discussions, expert panels, and collaborative debate, the event generated a series of ITI White Papers that capture its key insights and conclusions. These documents, available for download below, aim to inform, inspire, and guide the clinical and scientific community in this rapidly evolving field.
Why ITI White Papers?
In today’s fast-moving world of implant dentistry, waiting a decade for solid evidence is no longer realistic. The ITI White Papers fill the critical gap between consensus reports and treatment guides — offering timely, practical guidance where innovation outpaces traditional processes.
By synthesizing the best available evidence with clinical benchmarks, expert insight, and forward-looking vision, the ITI White Papers provide agile, actionable support for clinicians navigating complex, tech-driven treatment domains — and bring the benefits of innovation to their patients without delay.
Glossary of Computer-assisted Implant Surgery and Related Terms. First Edition
Developed by 14 experts and endorsed by 44 more from the ITI CAIS Network, this comprehensive glossary clears up misconceptions, defines key endpoints across the computer-assisted implant surgery workflow, and standardizes terminology for tools and procedures. An essential reference for clinicians and researchers alike.
Beyond Accuracy: Clinical Outcomes of Computer-Assisted Implant Surgery
This white paper brings together current evidence, reported clinical experience, and best practices to examine the outcomes of static, dynamic, and robotic computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS) — focusing on clinically relevant factors beyond accuracy alone. Designed to support clinical decision-making, the paper offers practical insights into real-world outcomes and highlights future directions and emerging developments with the potential to shape clinical practice and improve treatment success.
Computer-Assisted Implant Surgery: Patients’ Experience and Perspectives
This white paper compiles and analyzes published evidence on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and patient-reported experience (PRE) related to computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS). By integrating the available data with best practices and expert insights, the paper offers a deeper understanding of how patients perceive and experience CAIS protocols and technologies.
