Guided Implant Surgerry: Lessons Learned-The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

This presentation will demonstrate the 8 critical steps for a successful guided surgery cases.

Several types of treatment plans are shown, including total and partial edentulous patients. Sequencing the cases vary from a denture relign, provisional and/or a final prosthesis.

The power of the TiUnite surface of the implants allow for predictable early or immediate load and function. Laboratory steps including the expanded Procera lab software, and scanner are allowing a rapid and precise treatment outcome. Some of the cases have not worked out in an ideal way.

The lessons learned for these troubled or compromised cases are presented. Some issues are surgical, prosthetic and lab originated. Careful case planning and case delivery are requirements for an optimal result.
