Resumen:
The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of the digital mock-up and operator
experience on the dental implant planning position. A total of 200 dental implants were planned,
which were distributed into two study groups: A. dental implant planning by dental surgeons
with 5¿10 years of experience (n = 80); and B. dental implant planning by dental surgery students
without experience (n = 120). Operators were required to plan eight dental implants in the same
maxillary edentulous case uploaded in 3D implant-planning software, before and after using the
digital mock-up. Deviations between the dental implant planning positions before and after using the
digital mock-up were analyzed at platform, apical and angular levels, and were analyzed using a 3D
implant-planning software using Student¿s t test. The paired t-test revealed statistically significant
di erences between the deviation levels of participants with 5¿10 years¿ experience and no experience
at the platform, apical and angular levels. Digital mock-ups allow for more accurate dental implant
planning regardless of the experience of the operator. Nevertheless, they are more useful for operators
without dental surgery experience.
