Dynamic Navigation: Paving The Way for Accurate Implant Placement

Abstract

Dental implants have become one of the most accepted treatments for the replacement of missing teeth over the last decade. Conventional or static guided approaches are almost arbitrary approach that are heavily dependent on the clinician’s experience. Over the past several years, computer-aided implant placement (CAIP) protocols, which are based on digital workflows aimed at maximizing implant placement accuracy, have expanded the landscape of existing surgical options. The development of the dynamic navigation systems for placing dental implants is paving a way to overcome their drawbacks and provide reproduces the virtual implant position directly from computerized tomographic data and allows intra-operative changes of the implant position.
