Guided oral surgery requires the use of computerized tomography (CT) images of the patient for planning and execution of implant surgery through computer software.

It is an innovative technique that allows to increase the rigor and precision of the planning and execution of dental implant surgery. To do this, identical molds of the patient’s mouth and a CT scan are made before the surgery, so that it is possible to study the case with a specific software to design the surgical guide based on this previous study.

This technique offers many benefits, such as greater precision and safety, treatment predictability and shorter surgery time. Because of this flawless technique, the patient will show shorter scarring time and less bleeding and pain. This technique also enables the execution of “immediate loading” – that is, having fixed teeth in the implants the same day of surgery.
