ALEXANDRE OLIVEIRA, N et al. Treatment planning with software for guided surgery in implant dentistry. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.2, pp.59-68.  Epub May 18, 2020. ISSN 2340-3152.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0213-12852019000200002.

Preoperative planning of the implant position as part of a coordinated prosthetic and surgical concept is becoming increasingly important regarding function and esthetics. Guided implant surgery is increasing in popularity, particularly due to advances and increased usage of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and dental implant treatment planning software allowing three-dimensional assessment of the implant site. In fact, edentulous patients can be diagnosed by a CBCT and treated with several implants for rehabilitation with guided surgery and immediate loading. The CBCT provides a noninvasive method to describe maxillofacial structures and assess bone volume and density of alveolar ridges. The introduction of specific softwares of guided implant dentistry can improve the virtual planning of flapless surgery and outcomes of dental implant placed in edentulous alveolar ridges by template guided surgery. In many cases, the immediate-loading protocol maximises the sucess of the guided surgery techniques with many benefits, such as short time and maximum patient comfort.

Keywords : Guided-implant dentistry; cone beam tomography; software; immediate loading; dental implants.
