| Summary: | In contemporary dentistry, computer-assisted implant planning has become a significant diagnostic and therapeutic tool. The present case study highlights the potential of modern implantology by integrating virtual implant planning, guided surgery with tooth-supported templates, implant placement with immediate loading and in-office milling. A straightforward approach was followed for the partially edentulous area related to the lower left back tooth region. The authors hereby present a case of a 36-year-old male patient, who presented with complaints of difficulty in eating due to a missing tooth in the lower left back tooth region. Based on clinical findings and detailed virtual Three-dimensional (3-D) implant planning, a surgical guide was fabricated with the help of rapid prototyping techniques and guided implant placement was performed using Computer-aided Design/Computer-aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM). When compared to conventional implant placement, guided implant placement provides accurate positioning and angulation of implants, accompanied by better function and aesthetics, fewer visits, minimally invasive surgical procedures and immediate prosthesis. |
