CONCLUSION
We define the treatment goal already in the planning phase and About the authors
have developed structured procedures in the team. Thanks to
well-defined procedures involving the same geometry for each
treatment phase, we learn to work interdisciplinary and avoid
errors. Digital tools promote minimally invasive, biological, and
functional implantology, are efficient and economical, and are
therefore considered by us an essential basis.
