Course Content
To achieve an ideal prosthetic result with dental implants, it takes proper treatment planning. The use of surgical templates, helps ensure the correct implant position. Traditional implant placement, with conventional surgical templates are restorative driven, although it does not account for anatomical factors that will make it impossible to place the implant. CAD/CAM surgical templates or guided templates, through the use of surgical planning software allows for a restorative driven implant placement along with a three dimensional view of the patient's anatomy. This presentation will discuss the advantages of guided surgery in treating patients with this advancing technology.
