  • Dynamic Navigation Systems in Implant Surgery: From Planning to Placement to Final Impression*
    Contains 2 Component(s), Includes Credits Includes a Live Web Event on 11/18/2025 at 6:00 PM (CST)

    Dynamic navigation has emerged as an accurate, precise and efficient technique for dental implant placement. In complex ‘all-on’ cases, traditional chairside analog pick up for provisional fabrication can consume up to half the clinical time. However, recent advancements in dynamic navigation systems now allow OMSs to plan implant positions and place implants as well as capture highly accurate impressions using dynamic photogrammetry. This technology enables the seamless delivery of digitally printed or milled provisional and final restoration – eliminating the need for conventional chairside analog pickups. With these innovations, clinicians can now achieve a fully digital, streamlined workflow from planning to final impression. Code: WCE251118
