Description

Modern technology has demonstrated the predictability of full-arch treatment without many of the challenges. Three- dimensional navigated implant placement offers much more than routine surgical accuracy and precision. Implant planning software makes surgical designs rapid and simple. Patient­satisfying immediacy can then become a realistic routine option. The plan should also be used for education as it allows patients to see their specific condition and appreciate anatomical risks as a necessary prerequisite for informed consent. Just as importantly, presenting the surgical and restorative plan to the patient is a great approach to building more cases. Educated patients expect to see technology-driven practices and are more likely to gain confidence and place their trust in a progressive dental practice. Referring practices can benefit from the technology by planning every case as a team. Fewer unexpected outcomes and downstream challenges for the restoring dentist will strengthen confidence and allow for better access/results. Adoption of a coordinated digital workflow can also maximize patient satisfaction through immediate loading with precisely matched TempShell provisional restorations and immediate, screw­ retained provisionals with the Temporary Snap Abutment. Navigated implant placement can make surgery better. It can increase patient satisfaction and comfort. The demonstrated digital workflow can increase patient confidence and satisfaction. You can also offer more services with immediacy to meet the desires of today's demanding patients. Navigated 3D placement will help to improve your ability to treat more patients better.
