3D Guided Implantology
3D Guided Implantology is a revolutionary concept which allows for the collaboration between both the restorative doctor and the surgeon through digital technology. This merging of knowledge and experience achieves not only increased safety, but also a more precise implant placement. In addition, the fabrication of a final prosthesis can be done prior to surgery utilizing CAD-CAM technology.
Computer-guided implant surgery can often be performed without any flap reflection. This benefits the patient in that there is less postoperative discomfort, less swelling and less bruising. Patients can often resume their normal activities the next day. The process starts with obtaining a CBCT (cone beam CT scan). This scan allows for the generation of a three-dimensional model of the jawbone that can then be used in a virtual software to plan the implant placement. Our primary goal is to achieve an excellent clinical result with the highest predictability in a least invasive manner.
