An Image‐Guided System Based on Custom Templates: Case Reports

Abstract

This new technology improves the treatment outcome and optimizes the surgical procedure.

Flapless Implant Surgery Using an Image‐Guided System. A 1‐ to 4‐Year Retrospective Multicenter Comparative Clinical Study

“…In the test group, a flapless surgical procedure was used with the help of an image‐guided template (EasyGuide) 20,26–27 . Once the final positions of the implants are defined on the software, the scanning template is drilled in these exact positions by the drilling machine (Figure 3).…”

Skull reconstruction planning transfer to the operation room by thin metallic templates: Clinical results

“…This technique is mostly used in dental applications (Blanchet et al, 2004;Sammartino et al, 2004) while in craniofacial applications it is still exceptional. Two possible approaches are common for craniofacial surgery: aluminium (Jans et al, 1999;Schutyser et al, 2000;Jans, 2003;Clijmans et al, 2005Clijmans et al, , 2006b) and stereolithographic templates (Schutyser et al, 2000).…”

The Role of the Template in Prosthetically Guided Implantology

“…Moreover, they should be suitably shaped and sized in order , which is also used to construct extensions on the residual denture and/or the mucosa. 8 (9) The template is trimmed and smoothed (Fig 4). The occlusion is checked on the semi-adjustable articulator.…”

“…To identify the implant site according to the habitual occlusion, the static, functional, and dynamic relationship of the occlusal condition is analyzed. Information about the ideal loading axis, gathered from diagnostic/study mounted casts and a diagnostic wax‐up, is transferred during treatment planning to the radiographic/surgical template 8–12 …”

“…Information about the ideal loading axis, gathered from diagnostic/study mounted casts and a diagnostic wax-up, is transferred during treatment planning to the radiographic/surgical template. [8][9][10][11][12] The template should be stable, rigid, of limited size, easy to insert, transparent, modifiable, and sterilizable.…”
