Guided surgery for implant therapy

Gary Orentlicher et al. Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am. 2011 May.

Abstract

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 in three-dimensional imaging in dentistry, in combination with the introduction of third-party proprietary implant planning software and associated surgical instrumentation, have revolutionized dental implant diagnosis and treatment and created an interdisciplinary environment in which communication leads to better patient care and outcomes.
