Implant placement using a newly developed CT-based guide program and subtractive manufacturing: case reports

Abstract

Computer-guided surgery utilizing computed tomography is advantageous in placing implants precisely and conveniently. The purpose of the cases was to report a newly developed CT-based guide fabrication program and subtractive manufacturing using resin block. The guided surgery with the program and subtractive manufacturing allows not only precise translation of the treatment plan, but also offers additional significant benefits.
