3D Guided Implant Surgery
Like any other field, the dental segment is not alien to technological advancements. There has been a major advancement in dental technology, which has led to an improvement in how dental procedures are performed. These technical advancements help in carrying out complex procedures with better accuracy, and in less time. And one such less invasive procedure which has become quite popular today is 3D guided implant surgery.
3D guided implant surgery is an invasive procedure that has revolutionised dental surgeries in recent times. This procedure helps in clearly visualising the steps of the procedure. This product features a blend of CT scanning technology and CAD/CAM technology. The reason why it has become so popular is that it offers accuracy in the placement of dental implants, and also offers a clear view of your dental restorations. The best thing about this procedure is that it predetermines the location of your dental implants, and their angle and depth, and reduces the risk of complications.
How Is 3D Guided Implant Surgery Performed?
First step of this surgery includes taking a CT scan of the mouth. This scan will produce a 3D image of your mouth on the computer screen. It will allow your doctor to get a detailed view of the structures inside your mouth including the jawbone, teeth, nasal passageways, nerve passages, and sinus cavities. This scan will basically help your doctors in creating a customised 3D surgical guide which at the time of implant placement will be used as a guide to place multiple implants at the same time.
This helps in increasing implant predictability, and also helps in preventing discomfort, and gives you a hassle-free experience.
