Connecting Digital Implant Planning with Surgical Reality: Guiding the Future

This lecture explores how digital implant planning is revolutionizing surgical workflows by bridging the gap between virtual planning and clinical execution. Participants will gain insights into advanced technologies, guided surgery techniques, and real-time data integration that are shaping the future of predictable, efficient, and patient-specific implant treatments.

Learning objectives:

1- Understand the principles of digital implant planning using CBCT imaging, intraoral scanning, and prosthetically driven design workflows.
2- Identify the key steps and technologies involved in transferring virtual implant plans to clinical reality through guided surgery systems.
3- Evaluate the accuracy, benefits, and limitations of digital planning tools and guided surgery techniques in complex implant cases.
4- Develop the ability to integrate digital planning software with surgical instrumentation for improved precision, predictability, and patient-specific outcomes.
