  • Title: Assessing image-guided implant surgery in today's clinical practice.
    Author: Norkin FJ, Ganeles J, Zfaz S, Modares A.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 2013; 34(10):747-50; quiz 751. PubMed ID: 24571503.
    Abstract:
    As implant dentistry has progressed, greater emphasis has been placed on natural-looking tooth replacement, minimally invasive techniques, and better cost efficiencies, with implant positioning being guided by the desired prosthetic outcome. Image-guided surgery is a technique that merges preoperative diagnostic imaging with computer-based planning tools to facilitate surgical and restorative plans and procedures. This article discusses the intricacies of guided implant surgery, including 3-dimensional presurgical planning and the challenges of maintaining guide stability during surgical execution.
