▶ Digital Workflow for Implant Treatment Planning
Implant therapy has become an essential component of dental treatment for a vast number of patients. One change that reshaped the clinical approach to implant treatment planning and therapy was the introduction of digital technologies and workflows. Due to their advantages in accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and executing implant procedures, digital technologies are becoming more widely utilized. Elements of a digital workflow include data collection, computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing , and implant placement .These digital advancements have gained widespread adoption due to their numerous advantages in precise diagnosis, treatment planning, and the execution of implant procedures.
A digital workflow for implant treatment planning is a streamlined and precise process that leverages advanced digital technologies to plan and execute dental implant procedures. This approach offers numerous benefits, including enhanced accuracy, efficiency, and patient comfort. Here’s an overview of the digital workflow for implant treatment planning:
Digital Imaging: The process typically begins with the acquisition of high-resolution digital images. This may include cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, intraoral scans, and extraoral scans, depending on the patient’s specific needs. These digital images provide detailed information about the patient’s oral anatomy, bone structure, and tooth positioning.
Digital Impressions: Intraoral scanners are used to create digital impressions of the patient’s teeth and gums. This eliminates the need for traditional messy impression materials and offers greater comfort to the patient.
Software-Based Planning: Specialized software is employed to process the digital data and create a 3D model of the patient’s oral anatomy. This 3D model allows the dental team to precisely plan the implant placement, taking into account factors such as bone density, available space, and aesthetics.
Virtual Implant Placement: Using the 3D model, the dentist can virtually place the dental implants in the ideal positions. They can adjust the angle, depth, and orientation of the implants for optimal stability and function. This tool facilitate our dental implant specialist in All-on-4 implants procedure planning. .
Digital Surgical Guides: Digital planning software can generate surgical guides, which are custom-made templates that guide the dentist during the implant surgery. These guides ensure that the implants are placed exactly as planned, minimizing the margin for error.
Patient Communication: Digital technology allows for clear and visual communication with the patient. Dentists can show patients the 3D model, explain the treatment plan, and help them understand what to expect from the procedure.
Fabrication of Prosthetics: After the implants are placed, digital impressions can be used to design and fabricate custom prosthetics, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. This ensures a precise fit and natural appearance.
Follow-Up and Monitoring: Digital records of the implant procedure are stored electronically, allowing for easy access and monitoring during follow-up appointments.
Collaboration: Digital workflows also facilitate collaboration between different specialists involved in the implant procedure, such as oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and dental laboratory technicians. They can share digital files and collaborate more effectively.
Patient Records: All digital data, including images, treatment plans, and patient records, can be securely stored in a digital format, simplifying record-keeping and ensuring data integrity.
Overall, a digital workflow for implant treatment planning enhances precision, reduces treatment time, and improves the overall patient experience when compared to traditional analog methods. It has become a standard practice in modern implant dentistry.
The advent of digital workflows for implant treatment has increased accuracy and improved diagnosis, treatment planning and surgical execution in dental implant placement. In turn, these benefits have led to more predictable and successful implant outcomes.

▶ CT Technology at the Dental Design Center
A CT (computed tomography) scan, also called a CAT (computerized axial tomography) scan, is a diagnostic aid used to obtain three-dimensional images of various body structures. It is a specialized kind of X-ray which is of high diagnostic value because of its clarity and accuracy. Many dental professionals use this type of scan in conjunction with diagnosing and treating their patients.
▶ Anthos ergonomic dental chair
Our sterilized instruments are stored in purpose-designed storage cabinets that can be easily cleaned Before being used, our instruments are checked to ensure that:
- the packaging is intact
- the sterilization indicator confirms the pack has been subjected to an appropriate sterilization process
As part of our essential sterilization quality requirements, instruments that have remained unused for more than 21 days and are not in a validated sterile pack (processed by a vacuum sterilizer) should be subjected to a further cycle of decontamination before being used.
▶ Dental Implant Armamentarium
Piezotome
Piezosurgical is a process that utilizes piezoelectric vibrations in the application of cutting bone tissue. By adjusting the ultra sonic frequency of the device, it is possible to cut hard tissue while safely avoiding damage to nearby soft tissues. This decrease in collateral trauma during procedures such as osteotomies, osteoplasties, ridge expansion, autogenous bone harvesting, and sinus lifts results in rapid healing and a more comfortable and predictable recovery for our patients.
The innovative qualities of the PIEZOSURGERY
- Micrometric cutting action for maximum surgical precision and intra-operative sensitivity.
- Selective cutting action for minimal damage to soft tissue, maximum safety for you and your patients.
- Cavitation effect maximum intra-operative visibility and a blood-free surgical site.
This innovative dental technology is very useful in dental implant surgery for example sinus lifting for dental implant placement, tooth extraction, bone splitting and bone grafting procedure, etc.
▶ Osstell
The degree of implant stability is hard to determine once the implant has started to integrate. Also, at placement, stability is difficult to judge objectively and the “tactile feeling” or torque measurements will not work as a baseline for future comparisons. Osstell meters make it possible not only to measure the initial implant stability, but also to monitor the development of osseointegration over time.

▶ NiTi rotary files: ProTaper (Dentsply-Maillefer) systems
Niti alloy files have quite simply revolutionised our ability to predictably clean and shape the root canal system. In an electric (torque-controlled) motor and endodontic handpiece.
▶ Apex locators
Apex locators have come along way in the last 10 years and now give a very predictable ‘linear view’ of a 3-dimensional root canal. We know that the apical constriction of a root is never at the radiographic apex, hence the dictum of working the average “1 mm away from the radiographic apex”. This usually keeps us out of trouble. But, for absolute certainty the Root ZX II tells us exactly when we have reached the hallowed apical constriction in 90-95% of cases..
