Digital Workflow in #OralImplantology: A Case Report by Oscar somo Salomó in BJSTR

Abstract

#Implant restorations for partially or totally #edentulouspatients have become a highly predictable treatment, however restoration success is not based only on implant #osseointegration whether the aesthetic result [1,2]. Implants ideal 3D position and inclination are mandatory to obtain optimal aesthetic outcomes with long-term stability [3,4]. It's essential to design and manufacture structures and individualized abutments that mimic natural teeth and adapt to the characteristics of each patient providing the necessary support to the peri-implant tissues [5]. A defective restoration due to lack of adjustment, can lead to mechanical or biological complications or even the failure of the restoration and the implant, compromising the long-term functional and #aestheticaloutcomes. Main advantages of digital work-flow in #oral implantology are: Implant 3D planning with the possibility of printing a surgical stent to optimize implant position, changing conventional impressions by digital impressions reducing the dimensional variations and obtaining a printed model, the possibility of designing 3D abutments that allow to support soft-tissue around implant and finally manufacturing all- ceramic restorations with milled-ceramics [5]. The objective of this publication is to show the wide variety of possibilities that digital work-flow offer in oral implantology through the explanation of a case report.
