Abstract

Background: The use of augmented reality (AR) and 3D printing technology in dentistry has changed how oral surgery is planned and how prosthetics are made. These new technologies make things more precise, easier to understand, and faster, which greatly improves the results of therapy. This study sought to investigate and assess the therapeutic efficacy of Augmented Reality and 3D printing in oral surgery and prosthetic dentistry, focusing on critical outcomes including surgical precision, procedural efficiency, prosthetic integration, and patient satisfaction. Materials and Methods: This was a observational clinical study that lasted for six months. Thirty patients needing either oral surgery or prosthetic rehabilitation were recruited one after the other based on the criteria for inclusion and exclusion. The patients were split into two groups: group A for oral surgery and group B for prosthetic design. Results: In group A, the mean coronal deviation was 0.95 ± 0.34 mm, and the mean apical deviation was 1.14 ± 0.47 mm. The time spent in the operating room was reduced by 18.7% in comparison to standard procedures (p < 0.01). In group B, printed prostheses had an average dimensional accuracy of 98.6% when compared to digitized designs. The time it took to make things was cut by an average of 40% compared to traditional lab methods. Conclusion: Augmented reality and 3D printing in oral surgery and prosthetic dentistry make a big difference in accuracy, speed, and results that put the patient first.
