Introduction: A precise transfer of planned procedures to a real operative field can be provided by surgical robots. This technology, still unique, is increasingly applied in new medical specialties. The aim of this paper was to describe the clinical application of an active navigation in the dental implant treatment. Case Report: The patient was imaged by CBCT computed tomography Gendex GXCB-500/i-CAT while wearing an individually fitted interfacing acrylic splint. Thereafter, CT data were imported to the Image Guided Implantology System and precise 3-dimensional implant treatment plan was contemplated. This system allows real-time interactive carrying out of implantological procedures with three-dimensional visualization of the anatomical structures during the procedure. Conclusions: The system of active navigation ensures the coordination of prosthetic and surgical treatment which guarantees optimal surgical and prosthetic effect of the therapy, including both anatomical structures and prosthetic requirements.
