“…The accurate transfer of preoperatively determined implant positions to the patient is beneficial to the surgery. The described methods include various surgical implant template designs, modified conventional tomographic radiographs, CT‐scans and computer‐assisted planning of oral implant surgery using three‐dimensional approaches (Modica et al 1991; Besimo et al 1995; Fortin et al 1995; Takeshita & Suetsugu 1996; Verstreken et al 1998; Sicilia et al 1998; Mizrahi et al 1998; Jacobs et al 1999b). These methods are very useful for preoperative evaluation of the surgical site, enhancing the surgeon's knowledge of the patient‐specific anatomic situation.…”

The overall accuracy of a novel surgical computer-aided navigation system for placement of endosseous implants was evaluated. Five dry cadaver mandibles were scanned using high resolution computed tomography (HRCT). The position of four interforaminal dental implants was planned on the computer screen and transferred to the cadaver mandibles using VISIT, a surgical navigation software developed at the Vienna General Hospital. The specimens were HRCT-scanned again to compare the position of the implants with the preoperative plan on reformatted slices after matching of the pre- and postoperative data sets using the mutual information technique. The overall accuracy was 0.96 +/- 0.72 mm (range 0.0-3.5 mm). No perforation of the mandibular cortex or damage to the mandibular canal occurred. We conclude that computer-aided implant surgery can reach a level of accuracy where further clinical developments are feasible.

“…To achieve the above mentioned objectives use of stent has been suggested. It has been well documented in literature that the implants placed using stents are more accurately positioned than those without the stent [7,8]. Ever since the introduction of stents in implant dentistry various designs have been suggested.…”

Dental implantology has emerged as a practical alternative to traditional prosthodontics. Since the beginning, placement of implant in the bone to achieve a prosthetic solution that fulfils biologic, aesthetic and biomechanical requirements has been a challenge. In the past, implant site and inclination were dictated by residual bone quality. The desire for predictable prosthesis led to the development of prosthetically guided implantology. This concept establishes the correct implant position during the diagnostic stage according to planned definitive restoration. In prosthetically guided implantology where ideal placement of implant is determined by the definitive restoration, use of radiographic and surgical stent in conjunction with dental CT scan can play an important role. A stent is an appliance used for radiographic evaluation during treatment planning for implant placement and during surgical procedures to locate optimal implant placement site. The stent with dental CT scan enables the dental team to identify specific sites of prospective implant surgery and hence determines the optimal position and angulation of implant relative to occlusal load. Aided by stent the surgeon can avoid undesirable implant site preparation and minimize unnecessary osteotomy, resulting in favorable design of prosthesis, reduced surgical trauma, reduced surgical time and increased patient comfort. This case report is an insight into the method of fabrication of simple and cost effective stent for implant placement and its advantages over the other techniques of stent fabrication.

“…Therefore, Almog and Heisler suggested that the program selected the imaging guidance device idea from Modica et al, 4 which was unique at that time, because it addressed a major concern in dental implantology, that is, the violation of anatomical landmarks during surgery.…”

Computerized tomography (CT)-based imaging and surgical guidance carry both radiographic information such as height, density, and width of bone and clinical information such as axis of orientation for a successful prosthodontic result, thus determining the trajectory, depth, and distribution of the implants. The objective of this report is to review the associated literature and recent developments in CT-image-based information and surgical guidance systems. This report attempts to provide an argument for the development of evidence-based research on the utility of such systems and their effect on outcome in oral implantology.
