Dental Implants - Planning Software  

 

According to various statistics, around 70 percent of people between the ages of 35 to 44 years have lost at least one permanent tooth due to injury, gum disease, tooth decay or a failed root canal. Today, many patients with missing teeth view dental implant treatment as the ideal option to restore their teeth. Teeth implant treatment involves the implantation of small metal posts in the jawbone to support artificial teeth. They are considered to be more durable, convenient and long lasting than conventional tooth restorations like dentures. Also, advances in technology like CT scans, imaging and planning software, has resulted in dental implant treatment becoming virtually pain free.

 

What is planning software?

 

Dental implant planning software refers to software used by implant dentists to view the dental anatomy of a patient, locate sensitive nerves and plan the surgery, so that teeth implants can be placed without causing discomfort to the patient. Such planning software enables implant dentists to visualise the result of proposed teeth implant treatments from three dimensions, using the patient's x-rays, CT scans or digital photos.

 

Most types of 3D dental planning software include easy-to-use tools to help in the clear visualisation of implant placement such as:

 

• Assessing bone density.
• Identifying the alveolar nerve.
• Defining volume of interest.
• Detecting implant proximity.

 

Below are some benefits of dental implant planning software:

 

• Lesser chair time is required when teeth implants are surgically placed.
• Implants can be placed in the highest quality of jawbone available.
• The implant dentist knows what to expect, and is less stressed about the procedure.
• It serves as a visual guide for explaining the procedure to the patient.
• The implant dentist can learn about case issues that could affect the cost of treatment beforehand, and present an accurate quote to the patient.
• It provides a guide to dental laboratories for customising abutments and crowns.
• Optimal placement of dental implants results in exceptional results and long-term success.
