3D planning of the implant positions in the lower jaw

Digital volume tomography and computer-assisted implantation

Following an examination with our digital volume tomograph, computer-assisted implantation can be used. The position, angulation and depth of the implant are determined with the help of special planning software. Even before the procedure we obtain a clear picture of the condition of the bone, the position of the nerves and the final implant position.

Based on the individual data from the digital volume tomography and this planning, a virtual 3D model and a patient-specific resin guide are produced. During the operation itself the patient data are transferred to the patient by means of the model. In this way we place implants precisely at the intended positions. Patients generally experience guided implantation as less invasive and less demanding.

3D implant diagnostics

A favourable prognosis even in difficult bone situations

Three-dimensional digital diagnostics support us in planning, in choosing a suitable implant design and in determining the optimal implant position.

On the basis of digital planning we can offer patients implants with a favourable prognosis even in difficult bone situations.

The most important points at a glance

  • Digital volume tomography (CBCT) shows the bone, the course of the nerve and the maxillary sinus three-dimensionally.
  • The implant position is planned on the computer before the first incision is made.
  • A drilling guide transfers the planning precisely into the mouth.
  • The procedure can therefore be smaller and is less demanding for patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "guided implant surgery" actually mean?
The position of the implant is determined in advance on the computer using a 3D scan. A custom-made surgical guide then transfers this plan precisely into the jaw. So we do not work by eye, but according to a plan defined beforehand.
Does that make the procedure gentler?
In many cases yes: because the position is already known, the access can be smaller - sometimes without opening a gum flap at all. That can reduce swelling and discomfort afterwards.
How much radiation does a CBCT scan involve?
It is considerably lower than that of a comparable computed tomography scan. We only take a CBCT when there is a medical reason for it and the benefit justifies the exposure.
Does this also work when the bone situation is difficult?
That is precisely where 3D planning shows its strengths, because the available bone can be measured exactly. If there is not enough bone, we plan the necessary grafting straight away.
