title: Digital technologies for dental implant treatment planning and guided surgery.
abstract: Oral and maxillofacial surgeons now have extraordinary imaging, software planning, and guide fabrication technologies at their disposal to aid in their case selection, clinical decision making, and surgical procedures for dental implant placement. Cone beam CT has opened a new era of office-based diagnostic capability and responsibility. Improved clinical experiences and evidence-based superior outcomes can be provided with confidence to patients when CT-guided dental implant surgery is used.
