Abstract
Digital tools and applications have become an integral part of daily life. In the same way, computerized media play an essential role in the development of implant therapy. Virtually based technologies offer additional options, starting with diagnostic imaging, treatment planning and guided implant surgery, intraoral optical scanning as well as chairside processing for the final restorations.
The team of clinicians and dental technicians can choose from a variety of possibilities of individualized and prefabricated implant components in combination with dental materials. Nevertheless, a long-term success of implant-supported reconstructions is dependent not only on the material-specific properties and manufacturing procedures, but also on a concise treatment planning including the safe implementation of all clinical therapy steps under consideration of the use of original-to-original implant components.
Digital dental workflows enable the production of anatomically full-contoured, or so-called monolithic implant-supported restorations. However, how many bits ‘n’ bytes are necessary to fulfill the dentist´s and patient´s expectations satisfying clinical and technical requirements in routine practice today? The lecture aims to present evidence-based treatment protocols in the field of digital implant dentistry for the rehabilitation of posterior sites and in the esthetic zone.
