Prostheticaly Driven Implant Placement -A Case Report

[摘要] Technology has been used to change the world and to alter the manner of our existence. At present, the technological possibilities that lie ahead are also quite mind bending. The lines between "artificial" and "natural" are blurring by the day, with each new technical advancement and scientific discovery. Thus, in our field of dentistry the latest advancement is a boon to our patients. This is a case report on implant placement using 3D printed completely limiting tooth supported surgical guide with a flapless and immediate loading protocol. Dental implant has been established as one of the most predictable and conservative approaches for the rehabilitation of missing teeth. With the evolution of newer material and advancement in digital technology, especially in computed tomography, implant planning software and guided implant surgery, the outcome and success in implant dentistry have become more predictable. Computer aided design (CAD) technique is being integrated into treatment planning, and computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) is becoming more popular for rehabilitation procedures. This case report illustrates the diagnosis, planning and application of 3D guided technology in dental implant surgery. This article also emphasises the importance of proper planning in prosthetically driven implant placement.
