Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Computer-driven implant dentistry integrates advanced technologies for precise treatment planning and execution.
  • Accuracy in implant placement directly influences patient safety, aesthetic outcomes, invasiveness, and overall treatment costs.

Observation:

  • A scan template allows for pre-treatment visualization of the prosthetic plan and guides implant trajectory.
  • SimPlant software facilitates 2D and 3D implant planning using computed tomographic scan data.
  • Stereolithographic surgical guides (SurgiGuide) enable the transfer of the digital plan to the oral cavity.

Findings:

  • The SAFE System, used with dedicated drilling devices, guides implant placement.
  • This system can be utilized with SurgiGuides or custom acrylic resin guides fabricated from dental lab casts.
