We are fast approaching the day when CT case planning will become a"standard procedure" within the treatment process in ensuring optimizedresults for implant patients. Through 3D visualization of the patient's anatomy, computer-guided treatment planning software can be used to help prevent mistakes and unpleasant surprises during implant surgery. By utilizing data processed from a CT scan, we are able to measure and locate vital structures such as the mandibular nerve,sinus cavities and nasal floor. Certain software programs also contain3D images of implants, abutments and teeth, which allows for efficient,accurate and reliable planning of number of implants needed, implantposition and size, and abutment selection. When the case is planned, acomputer generated surgical guide is ordered to ensure the plannedresult is replicated in the real surgical situation. This program willpresent the practice and patient benefits of CT technology forincreased accuracy and control of implant placement.
