Implant Placement and Immediate Final Rehabilitation

Patients prefer to avoid periods without teeth or chewing function, and the approach outlined in this paper succeeds in meeting this expectation. The Camlog Guide system, used with a backward planning strategy, allows implant-supported restorations to be delivered immediately following implant placement . Requirements for success include accurate CT-based planning and exact transfer of the planned details to clinical and labo- ratory procedures. Preliminary studies have been conducted to evalu- ate the precision of this technique by superimpos- ing preoperative and postoperative CT scans. These studies have yielded mean values of 0.35 mm for translational deviation and 3.18 degrees for angular deviation.
