VELASCO ORTEGA, E. et al. Computer-guided implant dentistry in the treatment of mandibular edentulous patient. Avances en Periodoncia [online]. 2011, vol.23, n.1, pp.11-19. ISSN 2340-3209.

Introduction. The aim of this paper was to present the diagnosis, surgical and prosthetic protocol of implants by guided technique in the treatment of mandible. Guided surgery and immediate functional loading of dental implants for rehabilitation of mandible include an imaging diagnosis (dental scan) with 3D interactive software for planning treatment. According 3D imaging, stereolitographic template were fabricated for a flapless surgical technique. After a accuraced drilling some implants are inserted with a distribution according treatment planning. Immediate transitional fixed prosthesis were realized and adjusted with the abutment and finally, oclussion is evaluated. Definitive fixed prosthesis is realized after a 3 month-period of time. Conclusions. This paper indicate that guided implant dentistry may constitute a successful treatment of edentulous mandible.

Keywords : Guided-implant dentistry; template; immediate loading; mandible; dental implants.
