Modern 3D planning software enables computer-guided implant surgery for immediate function. This digital workflow streamlines the process, transforming digital wax-ups into customized provisional restorations for predictable results.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Digital Dentistry
- Implantology
Background:
- Growing interest in minimally invasive implant placement and immediate provisional prosthesis delivery.
- Advancements in 3-dimensional (3D) planning software and digital workflows enhance treatment predictability.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe how modern implant planning software facilitates a comprehensive digital platform for implant treatment.
- To highlight the integration of surgical and restorative aspects through digital workflows.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing 3D planning software for enhanced visualization and virtual tooth rendering.
- Implementing fully digital workflows for streamlined implant treatment planning.
- Transforming digital wax-ups into personalized, CAD/CAM-milled provisional restorations.
Main Results:
- Computer-guided implant surgery and immediate function are effective and reliable procedures.
- Digital workflows enable efficient interplay between surgical and restorative phases.
- Customized, screw-retained provisional restorations can be delivered on the day of surgery.
Conclusions:
- Modern implant planning software offers a comprehensive digital platform for efficient implant treatment.
- Collaborative digital workflows enhance predictability for immediate function in partially edentate patients.
- Streamlined digital processes allow for time-efficient delivery of customized provisional restorations.
