Case Study: Implant restoration of #25 using digital workflow and surgical guide
Patient has oblique fracture of the palatal cusp of his second left maxillary premolar with a juxtaposed bone margin. After discussing treatment options an implant solution is chosen.
PREVIEW OF THE CASE
- Implant planning. To optimize the positioning of the future implant, the implant-supported crown is designed first in a prosthetic-driven workflow.
- Patient communications. Once planning is validated, the patient is invited to see in the software an explanation of the surgical steps of an implant placement.
- Pilot drill guide designed and produced. A pilot drill guide is chosen because of the small mesio-distal dimension of the site. For optimal stability, the guide extends to the second molar and support bars are added.
- Doctor’s comments regarding workflow. “3Shape solutions enable an effective exchange of information with the patient. In particular, Implant Studio software can serve as a tool for explaining the therapeutic objectives.”
