In order to produce the best results for patients, prosthetically guided implant planning is essential. In order to produce an outcome which is aesthetic, functional, and easy for patients to maintain, clinicians must consider the final prosthesis, and the way in which this will inform dental implant placement.

Guided dental implant surgery provides clinicians with the tools they need for accurate surgeries and highly predictable results. While both freehand and guided methods can result in success, guided placement can help to lower the risk of complications,[i] and ensure that the implant is placed in an ideal location.

As such, it’s important that clinicians who wish to offer this method have access to the facilities they need to produce surgical guides, in order to provide predictable treatment to each and every patient.

The facilities needed for guided placement

In dental implantology, there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. Different patients have different requirements, with some needing a single implant, others multi-unit solutions, and some full-arch treatments. Practices which do not have the resources in-house to accommodate each of these scenarios may find that they must refer patients elsewhere. However, when you provide guided implant treatment with Smile in a Box™, you gain access to all of the facilities you need to offer a wide range of implant treatment options. Smile in a Box™ allows clinicians and their patients to benefit from the Straumann^® digital workflow – without the need for practices to invest in additional hardware or software.

Guided implant surgery workflows are made simple with Smile in a Box™. It’s easy to submit your case, so the team can plan the implant treatment ready for you to review and approve during a live online session. You’ll also have the option to plan the treatment yourself, if you prefer. Smile in a Box™ can then get started creating surgical guides and/or temporary restorations for you to approve, as well as offer high-quality, centralised CAD/CAM production. Once everything is ready, Smile in a Box™ delivers all of the components you’ll need to your practice in time for treatment – conveniently packaged in a box.
