Considerations for predictable outcomes in static computer‐ aided implant surgery in the esthetic zone

Abstract

ObjectiveTo provide technical and clinical recommendations for implementing a digital workflow in Static Computer‐Aided Implant Surgery in the anterior maxilla.Clinical ConsiderationsAn optimal 3D implant position is crucial for achieving satisfying results in implant rehabilitation in the esthetic area. Due to its complexity, implant placement in the esthetic zone should be executed with precision and predictability. Static Computer‐Aided Implant Surgery requires thorough planning and detailed attention to every step of the digital workflow protocol.ConclusionsImplant positioning in the esthetic zone using Static Computer‐Aided Implant Surgery is a technique‐sensitive procedure that requires precise execution of each step. This approach ensures accurate prosthetically driven 3D implant placement and prevents potential errors that could lead to inaccurate positioning.Clinical SignificanceThe proper implementation of Static Computer‐Aided Implant Surgery may increase the level of agreement between the planned and definitive implant 3D positions in the esthetic zone, thus enhancing the esthetic outcomes of implant rehabilitation.

Impact of digital technologies on implant surgery in fully edentulous patients: A scoping review

“…Artificial intelligence is also employed for precise automatic segmentation of anatomical structures, reducing the likelihood of intraoperative complications (Blatz & Coachman, 2023;Markovic et al, 2023;Unkovskiy et al, 2021).…”
