Integrating Three-Dimensional Digital Technologies for Comprehensive Implant Dentistry

Evaluation of the accuracy and precision of four intraoral scanners with 70% reduced inlay and four-unit bridge models of international standard

“…In particular, development of intraoral scanners has changed the paradigm of impression procedures from impression materials and gypsum-based indirect impression techniques to digital dentistry based chair-side impression techniques [3][4][5] . Quick and easy digital impressions offer convenience to both patients and dentists, and are a core technology for dental CAD/CAM systems 6,7) .…”

Role of Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Dentistry

“…Such softwares also serve to fabricate surgical guides that can be used at the time of implant placement; and also aid in crown fabrication [50].…”

An Overview Regarding Contemporary Biomechanical Aspects on Immediate Loading Dental Implants

“…Computer-aided implantation minimizes the error in implant positioning compared to conventional surgical guide implant placement and allows the provisory restoration to be manufactured prior to surgery (Yamada et al, 2011). Thereafter even the CAD-CAM technology provide the surgeon very precise information about the anatomy and the correct placement of the implants, so precise that allows the surgeon to perform flapless surgeries (Barnea et al, 2010;Patel, 2010). The flapless surgery for placement of dental implants has some advantages such as the maintenance of the periosteum attachment and blood supply to the bone, avoids gingival profile modification following the contour of the surgical incision, reduces the postoperative edema, bleeding, pain and discomfort for the patients and clearly make the surgical time shorter (Abad-Gallegos et al, 2010;Azari & Nikzad, 2008).…”
