[The computer-assisted processing of CT data in planning endosseous implantation interventions].
The success of dental implantologic measures depends considerably on the correct positioning of the endosseous implants. A sufficient amount of bony substance is mandatory to provide overall covering of the implant with at least 1 mm of cortical bone. By the aid of a custom-developed software system, computed tomography image data can be handled on a conventional MS-DOS personal computer. The user is enabled to simulate size and positioning of the implant by interactive graphic animation. Quick and exact presentation is achieved by optimizing the computation algorithms. Storage needs are minimized by a segmentation procedure and additional compression of the image. Integrated patient data management and user friendly self-documenting program surfaces provide easy application.
