ADVANTAGES AND BENEFITS OF COMPUTER-GUIDED IMPLANT SURGERY

As all of the fields in medicine, the dental domain is developing fast.

The new tendency to a digital dentistry can be implemented especially in implantology with great advantages for the clinician as well as for the pacient.

With the help of digital software we can plan and project the position of the future implants considering the bone supply, height and width.

Planning the implant is influenced by the position of the future crown. In other words, the inseration of the implant will not be in the place we have bone, but in the position where we need a tooth and in a three dimensional position which will correspond with the future crown (prosthetic driven implantology).

This way, the future crown can be made, technically speaking, with a screw retain restoration, with a lot of advantages from the cinical and biological point of view.

At the end of planning the ideal position of the implants (3 shape implant studio) the design of the future surgical guide will be projected, which will help us during

the intervention, at insering the implants in a tridimensional position indentical to the planned one.

All of this can be veryfied after the intervention with a 3D radiography (CBCT), which can be overlaped with the initial project.

Another advantage is that you can plan and project the future dental crown, which will be realized before insering the dental implant and can be screwed during the intervention,

this way the patient cand enjoy a new smile the same day (one day implant).

Conclusions:

# the quality and the predictibility of insering a dental implant is increased

# the stress during the intervention is decreased for the clinician as well as for the patient

# a considerable decreasing of the trauma, during and after the intervention; in many cases there's no longer necessary a flap (open fiels surgery)

# a significant cutting of the costs; in many cases the bone regeneration is simplified a lot

# emotional advantages for the patient who can enjoy a new smile the same day

# the success rate of the maneuver of insering the implant; the success rate in between 98%-100%
