Computer Guided Implant Surgery
A new wave of dental implant surgery using computer to accurately locate dental implant.
Dental implant is one of many options for tooth replacement. The most important part of dental implant process is that the dentist places the implant at the exact location as planned. In common procedure, the dentist will make an impression of patient’s teeth and radiographic imaging then use both of these information to determine the position of the implant. This procedure requires a dentist with great experience to be able to place the implant at the exactly position. But with Computer Guided Implant Surgery, the implant planning software is used to integrate x-rays, intra-oral photos, and digital images of teeth impression then determine the correct location of dental implant. In this process, the dentist will be able to see complete details which is more consistent with reality. The dentist can position the implant in a computer program then transfer this digital placement from computer screen to patient’s mouth exactly and accurately.
Advantages of Computer Guided Implant Surgery
- Planning dental implant at the most accurate location
- Reduce errors in implant placement
- Reduce duration of implant surgery
- Smaller wound and less pain
- Naturally looking tooth
- Relax every step of treatment
What is Computer Guided Implant Surgery?
Computer Guided Implant Surgery is a computer-aided procedure with Cone-Beam (CT) imaging technology that helps to plan and position dental implants.
This computer program combines intra-oral photos or teeth impression images and Cone-Beam (CT) images together. All this information shows the relationship of bone, position of the tooth and other vital organs such as sinus cavities and nerves. It allows the dentist to choose the size of implant and determine the accurate position for actual tooth replacement to be more effectively.
