Dynamic Navigation Protocol for Direct Sinus Lift and Simultaneous Implant Placement: A Case Report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
AIM: This study aims to evaluate the accuracy associated with the use of a dynamic navigation system for the lateral window opening for a direct sinus floor elevation (SFE) procedure with simultaneous implant placement. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A female patient, aged 27 years, reported to the Department of Implantology seeking treatment for her lost tooth. On radiographic examination, the residual alveolar ridge height was 6 mm in the 26 (left upper first molar) region. For the implant placement, the case was planned to be carried out under dynamic navigation (Navident, Claronav, Canada). To make the lateral window accessible to the sinus floor, an implant trajectory resembling the required window dimensions and prosthetic implant position was planned. Post-surgery cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was taken to assess the accuracy of the lateral window and implant trajectories using Evalunav (Navident, Claronav, Canada) analysis with dynamic navigation software. RESULTS: There was improved accuracy of the lateral window opening, and the visualization of the lateral window was maintained in real-time throughout the procedure, which was advantageous to eliminate the tearing of the thin sinus membrane. The deviations found in the trajectory of the lateral window in comparison between the planning and post-procedure were: (a) entry was deviated by 2.83 mm; (b) the apex was deviated by 2.52 mm; (c) vertically, the apex was deviated by 0.29 mm; and (d) there was an 8.93° deviation in the angulation of the trajectory. The implant that was placed simultaneously with the SFE's accuracy was in comparison with the position that was planned: (a) entry was deviated by 0.03 mm, (b) the apex was deviated by 0.82 mm, (c) vertically, the apex was deviated by 0.82 mm, and (d) there was a 0° deviation in the angulation of the trajectory. CONCLUSION: Dynamic navigation technology can help overcome complications associated with direct sinus lift procedures by providing highly accurate and precise planning and execution of the surgical procedure. This can lead to improved implant stability and a reduced risk of complications.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
