ABSTRACT:Three-dimensional imaging, particularly cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), has made significant contributions to the planning and placement of dental implants. The accuracy of CBCT data can be used to fabricate a surgical guide that transfers the implant planning information to the surgical site, which facilitates implant placement. Prosthetically driven implant prosthesis assures good aesthetics, function, and most importantly hygiene maintenance, which enhances the long-term success rates. Precision in this treatment planning and implementation of planned treatment is vital for this success.
