Tommaso Cantoni, Giovanni Polizzi: Guided surgery in soft bone situations and extraction sites, for optimal functional and esthetic results

The lecture explains the workflow of implant surgery with digital treatment planning and guided surgery, with the example of a clinical treatment case in the maxilla with multiple missing teeth. Dr Cantoni and Dr Polizzi explain the possibilities of interdisciplinary digital treatment planning and an innovative alternative way to design a diagnostic template in an immediate implant after extraction protocol, show the clinical procedure of implant placement with a guided surgery template in a flap protocol and discuss the minimal invasive character of the guided surgery approach and the option to avoid grafting. The lecture gives insight on how to prepare and design a screw-retained provisional bridge for immediate provisionalization after implant surgery.
