Dental implant technology keeps raising the bar for patient care with advancements in imaging, implant design software, and surgical equipment.
FREMONT, CA: For dentists, orthodontists, and periodontists, recent developments in dental implant technology have ushered in a new age, transforming patient care, notably in implant surgery. Thanks to cutting-edge technologies and methods, dental practitioners may now perform complex treatments with previously unheard-of accuracy, precision, and safety. Offering patients the best dental implant care is now simple, thanks to digital dentistry. Dental implant specialists and manufacturers have carefully balanced improving contact with the surrounding bone, optimizing stress distribution, and streamlining the healing process over time.
Due to its superior biocompatibility, osseointegration ability, mechanical qualities, and corrosion resistance, titanium has recently become the material of choice for dental implants, including custom abutments. Analog impressions have always been taken at the start of implant cases. Dental labs received these imprints to create posts, crowns, and abutments. Lab workers frequently had to correct impressions made by dentists who failed to consider the needs of prosthetics during planning. Most of the instruments that lab technicians had at their disposal were more often used to fix mistakes than prevent them.
The landscape has changed as a result of today's cutting-edge digital workflow. Intraoral scanning now gives extremely accurate information regarding a patient's dentition and soft tissue in place of the analog procedure. Modern dental implant technology includes surgical guidance, design software, and digital impressions. The difficulties of precise implant planning and placement have been made simpler by this contemporary digital approach.
