Fully Guided Socket Shield Technique: Digital Workflow for SPOT Procedure (613)

Implant failure rates may be high due to insufficient primary stability or the loss of primary stability before achieving secondary stability. This applies to immediate implants and sinus lift procedures where residual bone height is low. The conventional approach to achieving primary implant stability is inserting the implant in the undersized implant size. Extensive bone remodeling following trabecular bone fractures may result in implant disintegration. Implant site instrumentation utilizing the principle of osseodensification has been reported in both prospective and retrospective clinical studies to improve implant stability, both primarily and secondarily, through the healing time. During this session, participants will learn how osseodensification enhances implant stability and significantly increases implant insertion and removal torques compared to standard drilling without the need to undersize the osteotomy.
