Description:
Dr. Tom Roozendaal integrated in house CAD/CAM into his practice in 2006. his was used strictly for tooth borne prosthetics for several years. Due to his focus on implantology, he added a CBTC to his office in 2013. With recent advancements, the combination of these two pieces of technology, has allowed the dawn of complete chairside implant planning, placement and restoration. The dentist now has the power to prosthetically drive implant placement with digital scanning, surgical guide fabrication, temporary crowns or customized healing abutments and final restorations all in office if desired and without the need for an external laboratory. This paradigm leads the way to comprehensive planning, increasing predictability in surgical placement, developing stable ideal emergence profiles, decreasing surgical appointments and increasing overall efficiencies. The results are enhanced esthetics, decreased chair time, better implant hygiene and satisfied patients. In addition to an overview of digital scanning and available materials, this lecture will cover each step of the process of chairside implant treatment planning, surgery, healing and the final restoration. Dr. Roozendaal will show examples of each step from patients in his practice. The attendees will leave with the knowledge of how the combination of a digital surface scan, when integrated with a CBCT image can lead to increased predictability, confidence and best results when placing and restoring implants. Many of the complications with implant restorations start with less than ideal surgical placement. Attendees will see how this workflow can alleviate many of these challenges and lead to improved patient care.
