Guiding Implants the Virtual Way
Guiding Implants the Virtual Way
Keywords:
implant placement, surgical template, stereolithographyAbstract
With the technology scaling new heights in medical/dental sciences, it comes down to the clinicians ease to begin with a new procedure. Implant surgery is one such field which has constantly evolved over times. Along with the knowledge in the field, proper execution of implant placement procedure is required. Thus the need of a guiding tool for a successful placement of implant in its prosthodontically driven space cannot be underestimated. Surgical stents are one such tool that enable us to place implant in planned position and at perfect angulation. Fabrication of these stents has now evolved from a simple chair side procedure to a fully CAD processed mechanism. Thus enabling accurate execution of diagnostic plan.
