“…It is possible that the comparable outcomes reported in these studies 11,15 could have been influenced by the distribution of smokers within their respective study groups. Moreover, clinical experience and skill of the surgeon are considered a prerequisite in overall treatment success 3,24,25 . In 60% of these studies, 11,15,16 surgical procedures were performed by a single skilled operator.…”

“…As one of the drawbacks of guide implants, the lack of space is referred in the literature, especially in the lower posterior region 13,14 . That problem we also had during prepration in positions of #37 and #47 (Figure 8), and we overcame it using shorter borer in an early stage.…”

SummaryBackground:Cone Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT) is representing a new concept of radiological diagnostics and its application occupies a special place in implantology. Today, preoperative planning, and quantitative and qualitative jaw bone analysis cannot be done without the use of these techniques. The latest in a series of achievements in this field is a method of making a guide for implant using a 3D printing technique. This way pre implantology planning reduces the chance of surgical complications to a minimum and allows installation of dental implants in the most optimal position for future prosthetic work. Aim: To show benefits of guide implantation in clinical practice.Case report:The patient M.D. 36 years old. After making CBCT there was a qualitative and quantitative analysis of bone tissue, after which we decided to install five implants in positions #36, #37, #45, #46 and #47. The software appliance made virtually implants in the most optimal positions; treatment plan was forwarded by the internet connection into the DICOM format to Simplant Company, along with a folder of scanned plaster models in order to develop a guide. A few days later, after approval sent, we received the guide. Preparation by the pilot bur we did through transmucosal plum of the guide, and then we continued the classic flap surgery technique. Control footage shows the optimal position of the implant from both surgical and prosthetic aspects.Conclusion: Application guide implantology represents a safe and modern method that provides ability of implant placement in optimal positions in terms of future prosthetic rehabilitation.

“…In fact, even if the clinician drills along the template sleeve completely, the planned implant position may change after the manufacture of the surgical template. Several studies have shown that implant survival increased with the experience of the operator . Cushen et al found that the level of experience of the operator placing the implants contributes to the accuracy of implant placement; operators more experienced with surgical templates placed more implants accurately.…”
