Oral implantology is the branch of dentistry that deals with the replacement of missing teeth with titanium IMPLANTS anchored in the bone in order to support individual teeth, groups of teeth, or as support for a complete prosthesis, reducing its mobility.”
Dental implantology requires precise knowledge in the biological, biomechanical, surgical, and prosthetic fields. In addition, the dental office where the operation will be performed must be organized in a way that ensures the correct preparation of the office.
Guided surgery or computer-guided implantology has been developed as an alternative to traditional surgery. The procedure uses computer technology, images, and surgical guides to place dental implants with precision and accuracy. Guided surgery consists of obtaining the patient’s mouth by means of an intraoral scanner and a 3D tomography; with these images, a surgical guide is created that is used during the intervention and precisely indicates the position of the implant, minimizing errors.
Advantages:
- Precision in implant placement
- Better aesthetic result, as they reduce the amount of alteration of the tissue.
- Less working time, reducing the complexity of the procedure.
- Reduction of postoperative pain and inflammation.
