- A key component is the scan template, which helps visualize the prosthetic plan before treatment, ensuring an esthetically pleasing outcome.
- Software like SimPlant facilitates 2D and 3D planning using CT scans, with implant plans executed through stereolithographic surgical guides and the SAFE System for accurate placement.
Article Abstract
Computer-driven implant dentistry uses the latest technology to coordinate every aspect of implant treatment. It provides a means with which to control the placement of implants with a high degree of accuracy. This is important, since accuracy has a direct bearing on the safety, esthetics, invasiveness, and cost of implant treatment. Computer-driven implant dentistry must be conceived as a chain in which every link is related to the others. Within this chain, there are elements that can be employed to maximize the benefits realized by computer-guided implant dentistry. A scan template is a radiologic template that permits visualization of the prosthetic plan prior to treatment and determines the course of implant treatment from the perspective of esthetics. The SimPlant software program (Materialise) allows implants to be planned in two and three dimensions using data received from a computerized tomographic scan. The resulting implant plan can be transferred to the mouth and implemented by means of a stereolithographic surgical guide (SurgiGuide, Materialise). Finally, the SAFE System (Materialise) is used for guided implant placement. It is associated with dedicated drilling devices and can be used in combination with SurgiGuides or with traditional acrylic resin guides manufactured by the dental lab on a synthetic plaster cast.

Department of Clinical and Biological Sciences, University of Turin, Turin, Italy.
Purpose: Few studies have explored the bone response in dental implant sites prepared using a piezoelectric device, indicating moderate effectiveness in enhancing secondary stability and osteogenesis. This study seeks to expand our understanding of the changes in biological, clinical, and radiographic parameters, during the initial phases of osseointegration in sites prepared with piezoelectric surgery.
Materials And Methods: Two implant sites were prepared in the tibia of four minipigs.

Aim: To assess hard as well as soft peri-implant tissues within cases having two lost adjacent anterior teeth treated through placing either two implants with two separate crowns or only an implant along with a crown with a cantilever, and evaluating the effect of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) restoration on cantilever design up to 18 months after functional loading.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-seven participants (15 males and 12 females; mean age, 38.6 years; range 20-50 years) with missing two adjacent anterior teeth were treated with implant system (Flotecno implant system, Italy).

Background/purpose: Peri-implantitis remains a substantial challenge. This study investigated the effect of titanium particles on human oral epithelial cells, focusing on the nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat protein (NLRP) 3 inflammasome.
Materials And Methods: The Ca9-22 human gingival epithelial cell line was subjected to incubation with titanium particles.

Background/purpose: Early osseointegration of titanium (Ti) dental implants relies on the surface topography. Surface modification of Ti seeks to enhance bone regeneration around implants. Acid etching is the simple, less technique sensitive and cost-effective technique for surface treatment.

Background/purpose: Dental implants can restore both function and aesthetics in edentulous areas. However, the absence of cushioning mechanical behavior in implants may limit their clinical performance and reduce the long-term survival rates. This study aimed to establish an implant cushion mechanism that mimicked the natural periodontal ligament, utilizing the properties of composite hydrogels.
