CAD/CAM Technology
CAD/CAM technology is commonly used with same-day dentistry; however, it is also beneficial for oral surgeries as well, such as with the placement of dental implants. The computer-guided technology provides 3D images for a more effective preoperative evaluation while also helping to determine the ideal placement of the implant posts.
The virtual data is used through the surgical phase using guided or navigated systems that integrate with the CAD/CAM technology. This provides more predictable and accurate results for a more successful outcome.
Benefit from Successful Results
With the computer guided placement of the dental implant posts, the ideal place to insert them is pinpointed. This takes the guesswork out of the procedure to create more accurate results that are more predictable long-term.
In addition to a visual examination, a 3D model of the jaw and mouth is created that provides a higher level of detail than traditional methods, like digital x-rays. As a result, the implant posts are strategically placed to better promote the long-term success of the procedure.
With this method, the surgeon is directed to the exact location where the posts will be placed. This allows for a more seamless procedure that helps to preserve both hard and soft tissues. As a result, this also enhances the recovery as there is often less bleeding and swelling while you also benefit from a decreased recovery time that is more comfortable.
The computer guided system has a very narrow margin for error to allow for a higher level of accuracy when compared to freehand methods. When this technology is used for the placement of the posts, it shows to have a higher long-term success rate of 91% to 100% when compared to previous methods.
