Kuckreja KB, Kuckreja H. Virtually Planned and Integrated Template-Guided Implant Surgical Placement: A Case Report. 2018; 6 (1):40-42.
The placement of dental implants in the maxillary anterior region is a challenge for clinicians because of existing anatomy and high esthetic demands. This article presents a case with limited anatomical three-dimensional space for implant placement and immediate loading for esthetic and functional restoration.
Virtual implant placement was planned using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan, casts with trial denture bases, implant planning software (Nobel Clinician), and prosthetic designing software (Procera) to fabricate a surgical guide.
The article describes the successful application of “Smart Fusion” (Nobel Biocare) in the production of the surgical template for accurate placement of osseointegrated implants.
