Computer-assisted procedures and 3-dimensionally (3D) planned and guided surgery have been more integrated into implant dentistry over the course of several decades.
Among the recent advances in dentistry is the dynamic navigation guided surgery, augmented reality, as well as the use of robotics in dental implant surgery. All the recent modalities aim to achieve a more visible surgical field during an implant operation. Static guided surgery has been widely used in dental implant surgery to accurately position the implant for many years achieving high success rates. However, it is a time consuming procedure in terms of planning and producing the surgical template. Therefore, other techniques for computer assisted surgery in dental implantology have been introduced with the benefits of a real-time feedback, improved surgical visualization, and adaptability to intraoperative findings. To know the difference between those techniques and how to apply is of specific importance for each and every implantologist.
Objectives: My presentation will cover all you need to know about what is recent in guided implant surgery, 1-Dynamic navigation in terms of technology and workflow.
2- Augmented reality, as well as the use of robotics in dental implant surgery
3-A case completed using recent technology will be presented.
At the end of the presentation the attendee will be able to know the difference between different techniques, when and how to apply those recent advances.
