What is implant guided surgery?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dental implants are one of the treatment

methods to restore tooth function

by placing implant fixture (artificial roots)

that replace natural teeth when teeth are

damaged by tooth decay or gum

inflammation or when they are lost

due to an accident.

Dental implants should be placed in the

correct position and operated safely to

avoid touching the blood vessels or

nerves. It may not be a problem

right now, but it's often a problem

after a while

 

 

 

 

In order to achieve a successful final

treatment outcome, a position at least

equivalent to the maximum deviation of

the implant placement is necessary.

At S-PLANT Dental hospital, 3D CT

scanning and digital intraoral impressions

are used to generate a virtual

representation of the patient’s jaw and

oral anatomy in guided surgery cases.

 

This is utilized to develop a digital

treatment plan in which the exact position

of the implant is determined in advance of

treatment.

A surgical guide is fabricated that controls

the osteotomy in precise accordance with

the preplanned implant position.

The depth, angulation, and mesial-distal

and buccal-lingual location of the implant

osteotomy are precisely controlled

by titanium sleeves situated within

the surgical guide. The superior level of

accuracy afforded by this approach makes

it ideal in situations where there are concerns

related to bone volume and the proximity

of vital patient anatomy such as the inferior

alveolar nerve, sinus and neighboring teeth.

In cases of narrow ridges or other instances

of limited anatomical space, guided surgery

simplifies the task of situating the implant

within the available bone.

 

 

 

 

However, this approach is considered

highly technique sensitive and requires

expert dental implant team for its execution.

Careful selection of cases, proper treatment

plan and follow-up of surgical and prosthetic

protocols are the keys to success.
