    Virtual reality (VR) enhances dental implant planning by allowing intuitive manipulation of 3D models compared to traditional 2D systems.

  • 2

    The use of virtual handles in VR can improve precision in implant placement but may increase task completion time due to more complex movements.

  • 3

    Accurate dental implant placement is critical to avoid complications such as nerve injuries and malposition, influenced by anatomical constraints.

  • 4

    Controlled experiments showed that participants performed tasks more effectively with virtual handles, facilitating careful manipulation of implants.

  • 5

    VR environments provide immersive experiences that enhance spatial understanding and anatomical evaluation, improving overall surgical planning.
