Abstract:

Digital dentistry is now very widely accepted and is already in use in dental practice all over the world. This presentation will demonstrate how this innovation can provide the dentist with useful diagnostic information and additional treatment skills. This concept can integrate and combine a many different specialities together to produce a standardized computer generated surgical and restorative dental solutions guides for the patients by allowing the operator and general practiomers to apply the predetermined treatment plan for different surgical and prosthetic treatments that are difficult or even impossible to obtain by conventional methods. In this presentation, computer guided implant surgery will be discussed in details from A to Z, starting from the CBCT scanning protocol till the drilling protocol and types of drilling systems. Also in this presentation the types of computer generated surgical stents used for orthognathic surgeries will be highlighted. Also planning for different types of prosthetic restorations can be planned in three-dimensional aspects and also executed. In addition the translation of the digital smile design can be planned and physically achieved by the aid of many 3rd party softwares.
