swelling. Two aspects in particular are crucial to the success of
cases involving immediate implant placement and restoration:
The digital workflow from virtual implant planning and design
of the surgical guide to the design of the provisional and
permanent prosthetics must be able to be implemented precisely
and reliably. This means the interface between surgical and
dental planning plays a key role, which is facilitated by software
such as exoplan, DentalCAD and Smile Creator. In addition,
collaboration with a dental technician who understands the
virtual planning of immediate restorations is essential.
Overall, the case demonstrates that treatment success in
terms of esthetics, function and patient comfort can be achieved
predictably, efficiently and safely using virtual 3D-planned
guided implantation concepts. n
