Accurate Implantation and Long-term Stability with the Assistance of Computer-aided Design

Abstract

With the constant development of radiation and computer technology, the field of implant dentistry is also experiencing a digital revolution, including digitalized data acquisition, computer-aided virtual planning, computer-guided implant surgery and restoration, etc. The digitalized clinical protocol promotes a more standardized and accurate dental implant treatment, which certainly will reduce the occurrence of complications for dental implant treatment, and achieve more predictable long-term stability in both function and aesthetics, This paper summarized the digital collection, digital smile design, computer-guided surgery planning, and implant supported prosthesis design in combined with the development status of digital technique, and the future trend.
