Consensus Statement 1: s-CAIS is not beneficial compared with conventional implant surgery in terms of pain & discomfort, economics, and intraoperative complications
It cannot be stated that s-CAIS, in terms of pain & discomfort, economics, and intraoperative complications, is beneficial compared with conventional implant surgery. This Consensus Statement is based on four RCTs, four prospective Cohort Studies, five retrospective Cohort Studies, and one Case Series.
1) There is no contraindication to use s-CAIS instead of conventional implant surgery
Based on PROMs, economics, and complications, there is no contraindication to use s-CAIS instead of conventional implant surgery.
2) Flapless s-CAIS may be beneficial in fully edentulous cases
Flapless s-CAIS may be beneficial in fully edentulous cases in relation to postoperative pain intensity compared with open-flap procedures.
3) The quality and quantity of the keratinized mucosa must be assessed before planning s-CAIS
Flapless s-CAIS may lead to implant placement outside the zone of keratinized mucosa; therefore, the quality and quantity of the keratinized mucosa must be assessed before planning s-CAIS.
