COMPUTER-GUIDED SURGERY.

What is computer-guided surgery?

Computer-guided dental surgery is a novel dental implant technique that we use at Digital Dental Group CUU. We use it to virtually plan the surgery, analyzing the type of implants that will be used in each area of ​​the mouth and designing the best possible smile for the patient.

Computer-guided surgery is a more effective, less invasive, and more aesthetic technique than traditional surgery, thus improving the patient experience.

In this article, we explain what this computer-guided implant technique entails, its main advantages, and features. We also show you real-life cases from our patients.

Step-by-step guided surgery.

Next, we will explain step by step how we perform planned dental surgery in our clinic.

The first step before carrying out any procedure is an assessment by the team of specialists at Digital Dental Group CUU. During this assessment, the patient is given an oral examination and, through various tests, is determined whether the dental surgery technique is appropriate for them.

At our clinic, we pay close attention to explaining the dental diagnosis and the different treatment options that may be applied to the patient in a simple and educational manner.

Step number 1

Digital information.

 

In this first stage, two digital files are obtained. The first is an intraoral scan, which is an electronic device that reproduces the anatomical structures of the patient's oral cavity in 3D images.

This device creates a digital document of the oral cavity for further work.

In parallel, a maxillary CT scan is obtained, which provides detailed images of the bones and is performed to match the images of the bone structures of the jaws with the images provided by the first study.

Step number 2

Digital planning.

Once both files are obtained, they are uploaded to a specialized software for planning the placement of dental implants (Real Guide). In this way, we are able to obtain the patient virtually, to carry out the next step, which is the digital planning of the placement of the dental implant(s) accurately and without damaging anatomical structures.

Step number 3

Surgical guide impression.

 

Once all the measurements have been taken, and with the help of the aforementioned software, a surgical splint is created as a template, which serves as a guide for inserting the implants in the previously planned location and position, with no margin for error.

Step number 4

Implant placement.

 

On the day of the patient's surgery, the implantologist uses this surgical splint, avoiding having to open the gum as is done in traditional surgery.

This allows for minimally invasive surgery, without lifting the gum or using stitches.

What are the advantages of guided surgery?

Guided surgery in oral implantology offers significant advantages over traditional implant placement, while also ensuring far greater benefits for the patient.

Compared to traditional techniques, installing dental implants using computer-guided techniques requires greater investment and effort. However, they provide excellent clinical results, eliminating errors, and systematizing the reproduction of successful treatments.

Guided Surgery: Real-Life Cases Treated at Digital Dental Group CUU.

Below, we show some real-life cases of patients undergoing guided surgery for dental implants.

Real-life case treated at Digital Dental Group Cuu. Patient with “terminal dentition,” a condition in which all the teeth are affected by a combination of oral diseases, including cavities, periodontal disease, and severe infections.

Rehabilitation using implant-supported prosthesis.

Chronic periodontitis is a disease that affects the gums and bone, causing mobility and subsequent tooth loss.
