Abstract:
Current diagnostic and treatment planning tools support a complete digital workflow that takes the guesswork out of implant dentistry and facilitates asynchronous collaboration between all involved specialties, from the restorative dentist to the surgeon to the dental laboratory. Long gone are the days of freehanded implant placement as guided as well as navigated surgery and now even robots provide unprecedented precision and predictability in implant placement based on the individual medical, morphologic, and anatomic situation of each patient.
