Computer-Guided Implant Surgery

Computer-Guided Implant Surgery

Surgery for implants performed using computer guidance saves time, is less stressful, and hastens recovery time by requiring less tissue manipulation. The use of computer-guided implant procedures frequently makes it easier to place implants in difficult anatomical areas. Guided implant surgery uses digitally created 3D surgical guides to accomplish these objectives. Anatomical structures and nerves beneath the jawbone are protected by surgical guides, which also boost the success rate of the implant by ensuring that it is positioned precisely to avoid complications like screw loosening, fractures, or bad cosmetic results.

Utilizing implant planning software, our Implantologists develops a virtual plan that enables us to assess underlying anatomical structures and aids in producing a surgical guide that is highly accurate and precise to prevent injury to underlying tissues. The Digital implant planning program, which combines diagnostic, treatment planning, and the creation of a 3D surgical guide using CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology, is used. Our guided implant surgeries are accurate, precise, and provide the highest level of patient satisfaction.

Advantages of guided implant surgery

• Overall scan of your jaw area

The most advanced Cone Beam CT scanner allows our physicians to provide an accurate 3-dimensional image of the jaw area, which includes the precise tooth locations, bone quality and quantity, nerve tissues, and any sinus cavities.

• Creation of 3D model

Using highly specialized software, we can construct a 3D model of the jaw once we have this thorough information, allowing us to “virtually” put the implants in the ideal location.

• Prepare Drilling Guide

The specialized laboratories are then given the 3D model with the virtual positioning to create an accurate drilling guide for use in surgery utilizing 3D printing.

When is Using Computer-Guided Implant Surgery Advisable?

In some circumstances, computer-guided implant surgery may be quite beneficial. If the patient needs 3 or more implants to be placed in a row or if the success of the intended restoration depends on implant placement, you might want to think about this treatment option. Computer-guided implant surgery may be advantageous for patients who need extensive alterations to their bony anatomy, have issues with the structure or volume of their bone, or both. Surgery that is directed by a computer can help prevent issues caused by nearby implants or teeth.

This form of treatment may be appropriate for patients who are edentulous or patients who require immediate extraction followed by immediate implant implantation. Despite the benefits, guided implant surgery isn’t always essential.

Why Do Surgeons Choose This Procedure?

Although still relatively new, computer-guided dental implant implantation is becoming more and more popular as a feasible choice for many dental patients. The treatment is considered by many oral and maxillofacial surgeons as one of the safest and most precise surgical alternatives. Overall, it gives oral surgeons the flexibility to better manage implant locations that would otherwise be challenging.

More people than ever, can now benefit from tooth implant choices because of advancements in dental implant technology. With fewer issues, many people can now have their smile restored thanks to computer-guided implantation.
