3D IMPLANT DIAGNOSTICS

Guided implant surgery

Surgical guides shall guarantee extremely precise implant placement, with the accuracy levels being less than 1 mm, thus ensuring high reliability of dental implant surgery procedures. Maximum utilisation of the available jawbone ossein volume can be achieved by placing implants close to vital structures, which provides more opportunity for inserting dental implants at no additional costs that are commonly associated with lengthy bone regeneration processes.

Data acquisition

CBCT dental radiographic examination or 3D X-ray imagining provides an extremely accurate assessment of a patient’s anatomy. Optical impressions taken with intraoral scanners shall enable a collection of very detailed information about dental and mucous membrane surfaces. By combining CBCT scan with optical imaging, a very thorough qualitative and quantitative analysis of jaw ossein and jaw mucous membrane shall be obtained.

Advantages for patients

  • increased accuracy and safety

  • minimally invasive procedures

  • reduced surgery time

  • shorter recovery time

  • low risk of unexpected complications

Advantages for dentists and specialists

  • accuracy and predictability of surgical procedures

  • reduced surgery time
  • minimal surgical wounds

  • monitoring of bone preparation depth & direction

  • planned prosthetic upgrading

Dental implant insertion plan

A computer programme generates 3D volume from DICOM image files. Computer tools shall provide an accurate planning of surgical dental implant placement into a patient’s virtual jawbone. Apart from determining an accurate implant position, these computer tools also mark the location and the course of nerves and sinusoidal cavities. In addition, the computer tools facilitate an analysis of anatomic peculiarities, quantitative and qualitative ossein analysis, an evaluation of implant positions, and the relationship between implants and dental roots. A dental implant insertion plan also involves a prosthetics improvement plan.

Long-term stability of implanto-prosthetic replacements shall be rendered possible by means of the following elements: an optimal functional burdening of a dental implant using prosthetic upgrading, a maximum volume of a dental bone layer located beside an implant, and the position of an implant with regard to the gingival mucous status.

Fabrication of a surgical guide

A virtual implanto-prosthetic plan is converted into a surgical guide which shall guarantee secure and successful surgical work resulting in accurate dental implant insertion using a minimally invasive method. Each surgical guide has been created individually utilising the CAD-CAM method. A surgical guide shall clearly specify a dental implant position, direction and inclination as well as an implant depth when inserted into a jawbone.
