Preplanned Computer-Assisted Advanced Implant Placement for Orthodontic Patients: Presentation of a Novel Multidisciplinary Treatment Approach and a Case Report

Int J Prosthodont. 2023 Sep 12;36(4):508-515. doi: 10.11607/ijp.7684.

Abstract

This case report describes a novel approach combining orthodontic and implant digital treatment planning workflows to enable prosthetically driven implant placement before orthodontic treatment is performed or completed. The computer-assisted implant placement is performed using a static surgical guide based on the future positions of the teeth after completion of orthodontic treatment. This innovative approach allows for select partially edentulous patients to undergo fixed prosthetic rehabilitation before orthodontic treatment is completed.
