description Introduction: Augmented Reality (AR) in dentistry has evolved from computer-generated images overlaying the real world, stemming from advancements in software-based Virtual Reality (VR) for anatomic exploration. AR applications in dentistry range from simulations aiding in training to enhancing precision in dental procedures. By overlaying digital information onto the physical environment, AR facilitates better visualisation of dental anatomy and treatment planning. Its integration has shown promise in reducing errors, improving patient outcomes, and augmenting dental education through immersive experiences. Aim: To evaluate AR’s application in dentistry, with a particular emphasis on dental implants. Materials and Methods: A systematic review, using the Problem/patient Intervention Control or comparison Outcome (PICO) framework, selected six articles focusing on challenges in dentistry, specifically in training, practicing complex procedures accurately in implants, and maintaining patient confidentiality. The intervention compared AR with traditional methods. Results: The AR was mostly used in precision dentistry operations. Notably, it was discovered that three-dimensional (3D) AR outperformed two-dimensional (2D) image navigation techniques, resulting in fewer implant location errors. The highest absolute effect was 24.3%, with the angle of implant errors showing a reduction of 9.5% using AR. Conclusion: The findings support AR’s role in enhancing accuracy and efficiency while maintaining patient confidentiality.
