Abstract

In dental implant surgery, drilling is first step to make hole for insertion of fixture. Different implant system has their sequence and drilling system for making the implant site preparation. To determine drilling system performance in vitro examination under constant condition, it needs accurate experimental apparatus to determine drilling system performances. The use of a novel test system to drill the implant site in preparation for the insertion of the implant was developed in this research. Experimental condition of drilling test such as feed rate, vertical force, RPM, drill forward and backward and temperature should monitor in designed system. The system’s software, which consists of robot calibration module, drill plan module, load plan module, drill execution module, and acquisition data module, is programmed based C# software GUI system for test monitoring. The experimental result showed that all implants were precisely placed at the right location and Positioning accuracy was improved by 90% (p < 0.01) in comparison toy hand drilling; and resolution of drilling was improved by 80% (p < 0.001) in comparison to human hand implantation .
