Computer-Guided Restorative and Surgical Aspects of Reconstructive Dentistry

Description:
Dental implant reconstruction has been forever changed through the evolution of CBCT, three dimensional imaging technologies, interactive treatment planning, guided surgery, and CAD-CAM applications. The world of digital dentistry now provides clinicians with new paradigms such as the "Triangle of Bone" as a decision tree for assessment of the surgical and restorative needs of our patients with missing teeth. Combining optical scanning, intra-oral digital impressions, with CBCT paves a new frontier for clinicians and lab techs to provide even more accurate and consistent "restoratively driven" results. This presentation illustrated the historical development of these technologies, surgical and restorative treatment modalities, and visions for the future.

Dr. Ganz, nice job. What are your thoughts today regarding optical scanning and immediate final restorations? Is this possible right now or is still risk of distortion and lack of precision fit. Also, I am thinking about CBCT, which one is best? And optical scanner?? thanks Sam

CT Scan Technology

CT Scan Technology
Implant dentistry, one of the most predictable treatment alternatives offered to patients who are missing teeth can be enhanced by thorough pre-surgical diagnosis and treatment planning efforts by all members of the implant team. Conventional radiologic techniques including periapical and panoramic radiographs are limited by the two dimensional interpretation of existing hard and soft tissue. The inherent distortion factor can misrepresent bone topography in critical areas associated with vital anatomy or potential implant sites. Advances in diagnostic radiological techniques improved with the introduction of CT scan technology for dental applications. The enhanced diagnostic range of this evolving technology empowers the clinician with necessary tools to avoid potential complications associated with implant dentistry.
