Digital Implant Treatment Planning: The Importance of the Scan Appliance
Take a Test | View PDF | Online Magazine

Course Objectives (2 Credits)

One of the fastest growing segments of implant dentistry is the utilization of CT scan data and treatment planning software in conjunction with guided surgery for implant reconstruction cases. The scan appliance is critical to the process and success of these cases. The primary purpose of the scan appliance is to show the ideal prosthetic positions of the teeth to be replaced in the digital plan. This article by Dr. Bradley C. Bockhorst will help you:

  • Understand the role of the scan appliance and how it is utilized
  • Understand the nomenclature for the NobelGuide and SimPlant systems
  • Understand the CT scan protocols based on the type of scan appliance
  • Understand the impact of the scan appliance on the surgical guide.

Summary

This article will aid understanding of the role and proper use of the scan appliance in digital treatment planning and guided surgery, so that the clinician can take full advantage of this technology.
