The proceedings of the 23rd Congress of the Iranian Academy of Periodontology: New Approaches in Periodontal and Dental Implant Treatment

Computer-assisted surgery for implant placement was initially introduced in the late 1990s.Due to recent advancements in digital technologies, it has become increasingly utilized to achieve an optimal implant positioning that is both biologically and prosthetically ideal.Different types of guided implant placement are typically categorized based on the level of guidance (partially versus fully) and the ability to make intraoperative adjustments (static versus dynamic).However, the rationale behind performing a digital workflow is clear based on accuracy, but the case selection criteria and the standard protocol might be considered vague.The purpose of this lecture is to provide a guideline with original case presentations regarding the digital implant placement workflow.
