Today, digital devices and programs such as 3D scanner, 3D printer and digital modeling software are gaining more and more recognition in dentistry.<\/p>\n

Now dentists have the opportunity to make the most accurate, targeted and microinvasive use of all implantation opportunities.<\/p>\n

The success of the surgical manipulation primarily depends on the exact position of the implant in the jawbone (point and direction of implant integration).<\/p>\n

Innovative invention – surgical template for implantation – allowed to achieve the most accurate positioning of the implant during the surgery.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>1. What is a surgical template for implantation?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
A surgical template is a polymer plastic construction that visually resembles a mouthguard. Such templates are made for each person personally according to a digital model that considers all the individual features of the patient. The model is created based on a 3D image and CT scan of the patient’s dentition. At the stage of modeling the dentition, the right position of the orthopedic structure and implant is determined.<\/p>\n

When making a surgical template for implantation, holes (tunnels) are reproduced on it, where special sleeves are installed. They, in turn, set the position and direction for the implants, allowing the implant surgeon to perform an error-free implantation.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/i><\/span>2. Types of surgical templates<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Templates for implantation differ in material, design, and manufacturing technology. Polymer plastic and acrylic products are used in dentistry. Surgical templates are made in a vacuum molder, by 3D printing, and using Cad\/Cam technology. The last method is the most expensive.<\/p>\n

The template design depends on the patient’s dentition – with support for the remaining teeth or with support for the jaw (in case of full adentia).<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>3. Features of the use of surgical templates in implantology<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Nowadays, the use of surgical templates in dental implantation is considered a standard, because this technology virtually excludes errors and related complications. Surgical templates for implantation are used in the following cases:<\/p>\n
