Abstract

 Three-dimensional imaging, particularly cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), has made significant contributions to the planning and placement of implants of missing tooth or at immediately removed tooth. The accuracy of CBCT data can be used to fabricate a surgical guide that transfers the implant planning information to the surgical site to facilitate implant placement. Prosthetically driven implant prosthesis assures good aesthetics, function and more importantly hygiene maintenance enabling long time success. Accuracy in treatment planning and implementation of planned treatment is vital for this success.

Here we describe a method for applying CBCT data to aid in the planning and placement of implant using CBCT data to aid in planning and placement of Missing and immediate extracted tooth implant.
