With more and more clinicians placing implants, it is imperative that proper diagnosis and treatment planning be implemented for long-term clinical success. Clinicians must understand how implant dentistry is a prosthetically driven modality. The final restorative design and prosthesis must dictate the final restorative and surgical plan. By incorporating guided surgery, cases can now follow the “Crown Down” approach to achieve implant success and predictability. Surgical placement can be planned digitally and 3-dimensionally through the use of CBCT analysis and final prosthetic design and following through with a pre-planned provisional for immediate loading. Pre-planning the case digitally for a completely guided surgery will reduce surgical time as well as visits. The use of guided surgery will allow for more ideal and predictable implant placement with the final prosthesis in mind.
Learning Objectives:
Learn to apply surgical, restorative, and esthetic protocols to maximize flow and success with guided surgery
Explore restoratively driven protocols to maximize success using a surgical guide for implant placement.
Examine the digital workflow from surgery to temporization
