Planificación y rehabilitación inmediata en la cirugía mínimamente invasiva

basis: in the early years of treatment with dental implants, treatment planning was based on the interpretation of two-dimensional radiographic images. today we can carry out a more precise preparation with the computerized information obtained from ct scans. the planning can be directly taken to the surgical phase thanks to the surgical guide generated by stereolithography; this gives the surgeon the possibility to perform less invasive surgeries, as well as to place a provisional prosthesis during the same intervention. material and method: we reviewed the literature published in support of the use of different radiographic diagnostic tools and the use of it systems in the preparation for treatments involving dental implants. also, a clinical case is presented which shows the various steps to follow in order to achieve a good diagnosis and preparation, a less invasive surgical intervention and an immediate rehabilitation. results: the information gained from the treatment planning was used in surgery, providing the desired aesthetic results. conclusions: with an exhaustive preparation and the use of stereolithographic surgical guides, implant surgery is simplified. the provisional prosthesis can be designed prior to the surgical intervention and placed during surgery.
