3-D Imaging and CT-Guided Dental Implant Surgery
Program Overview:
Cone Beam technology has brought the power of 3D imaging in to the dental office. CT-Guided dental implant planning and surgical techniques are far superior to traditional 2-dimensional imaging and "freehand" placement of dental implants. This results in a less invasive surgical procedure, awareness of anatomical challenges ahead of time, increased precision of implant placement, reduced surgical time, and enhanced patient recovery.
Course Outline:

• Introduction to 3D CT volumetric implant treatment planning.
• Discussion of shortcomings of traditional implant planning and surgical guides.
• A few cases where preoperative 3D imaging would have been beneficial.
• Introduction to Galileos Implant software and workflow.
• Presentation of a variety of Guided Implant Surgery cases.
• The merging of Cone Beam CT and dental CAD/CAM technology.
