Dr Jennifer Chantler - Integrating digital diagnostics to full arch implant planning and guided surgery

The failing dentition of partially edentulous individuals may be used as an initial reference for stackable restrictive surgical guides during full-arch immediate implant placement. When planning these full arch cases, it is critical to have complete visualisation between the planning, surgery and prosthetic aspects.

The stackable guide derives from a digital workflow which increases the predictability of the performance of bone reduction, immediate implant placement, and immediate loading of provisional implant-supported fixed dental prostheses. Digital technologies can help us achieve these goals effectively.
