Digitally Assisted Implant Surgery: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

To assure the intended outcome and match the patient's and dentist's expectations, modern dental implantology and implant prosthetics rely on detailed diagnostics and accurate planning. Digital implant planning and guided implant surgery based on three-dimensional radiographic data and digitized intraoral surfaces can be extremely useful in this situation. They provide useful information and allow for meticulous backward planning to optimize the implant and prosthetic outcome, enhancing the surgical procedure's safety and efficiency while also making the restorative outcome more predictable in terms of function, biology, and aesthetics. Template-guided implant surgery, on the other hand, comes with its own set of dangers, including manufacturing faults and application problems. To avoid negative repercussions, these potential sources of inaccuracy must be identified and carefully considered.
