Digital technologies are being frequently used in treatment planning and surgery execution for implant surgery and restorations. The multiple technologies of 3D cone beam CT imaging, intra-oral scanning, laboratory scanning, 3D digital restorative design and CAM production have contributed to this trend. Analysis of important aspects related to treatment, communication with restorative referring colleagues and presentation of treatment plans to patients are some of the advantages of implementing a fully digital workflow in an OMS office. However, if one is not "digital literate," it may be confusing and time-consuming to make appropriate decisions on why to use it, how to select and purchase equipment and how to set up a practice office to fully benefit from the digital tools, making it cost-effective. The session will discuss the benefits and difficulties of digitally planned/guided implant surgeries and interface with conventional procedures, highlighting clinical indications.br>
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:
- Discuss why a digital workflow in implant surgery can be important to improve an OMS practice.
- List hardware and software necessary to implement a digital workflow related to implant surgery in an OMS practice.
- Describe the important steps to use a digital workflow for implant surgery.
