Virtual surgery, prosthetically driven planning and surgical guide creation with 3Shape Implant Studio — a step-by-step guide.
Full-arch rehabilitation with the Straumann All-on-4 protocol, the advantages of immediate loading and the role of digital planning.
A fixed prosthesis on the same day with the Bredent copaSKY Fast & Fixed concept. Advantages, indications and the digital workflow.
Osseointegration is the direct structural and functional connection between living bone and the implant surface — with no intervening soft tissue layer. Understanding the process, timeline and success factors is the foundation of modern implantology.
A surgical guide is a 3D-printed device that transfers digital implant planning directly to the operating field — ensuring the correct position, angle and depth for every implant before the first incision.
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the essential diagnostic tool of digital implantology. Bone volume, nerve canal analysis and 3D imaging — the role of CBCT in implant planning.
The All-on-6 protocol uses six implants for full-arch rehabilitation. How does it differ from All-on-4, who is it indicated for, and what role does digital planning play in this choice?
Sinus lifting is a surgical procedure to augment bone volume in the posterior maxilla. Elevating the sinus membrane creates space for bone graft material — enabling implant placement where natural bone is insufficient.
Bone grafting restores insufficient bone volume for implant placement. Autogenous, allograft, xenograft and alloplastic materials — which type is chosen and when?
Straumann, Bredent and Nobel Biocare — comparing three leading global implant systems: surface technology, design, immediate loading potential and clinical indications.
Zygoma (cheekbone) implants are the alternative solution for upper jaw patients where conventional implants are impossible due to severe bone atrophy — no sinus lifting, same-day fixed prosthesis.
