Guided surgery in the aesthetic zone

Treatment in the aesthetic zone combines high patient expectations and clinical complexity. This makes it particularly demanding for clinicians.

In this context, guided surgery has proven to be a strong enabler in supporting the accuracy of implant surgery. The ability for it to integrate in the digital workflow, has brought significant progress in prosthetically driven implant placement, leading to a seamless and efficient provision of the restoration for patients.

With the help of literature and clinical cases, this lecture will discuss and describe the benefits of guided surgery when used as part of the digital workflow.
