Problems of Guided Implant Surgery

Guided surgery for implant therapy.

New three-dimensional diagnostic and treatment planning technologies in implant dentistry have expanded on concepts of a team approach to the planning and placement of dental implants. The accurate and predictable placement of implants according to a computer-generated virtual treatment plan is now a reality, taking the virtual plan from the computer to the patient clinically. Recent advances i...

Clinical Application of Computer-Guided Implant Surgery

This text will be a helpful resource for any practitioner of dental implant surgery. It is concise, heavily illustrated, and full of practical examples of computer-guided surgery. At times, the reader may find the captioning of figures to be sparse, but there is certainly no shortage of figures themselves.

Virtual Planning for Dental Implant Placement Using Guided Surgery

Technical and scientific advances in diagnostic and therapeutic methods in the biomedical field have substantially increased the predictability and longevity of the outcomes of restorative surgical procedures. In contemporary oral implantology, bioprototyping techniques based on computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology have proven to be valuable aids in diagno...

Implant- and patient-centred outcomes of guided surgery, a 1-year follow-up: An RCT comparing guided surgery with conventional implant placement.

AIM To assess, in a randomized study, the implant (clinical and radiological) and patient outcomes of guided implant placement at 1-year follow-up, compared to conventional implant treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 314 were placed in 59 patients, randomly assigned to one of the treatment groups. Radiographic and clinical parameters were recorded at the time of implant placement, pros...
