Dental implant therapy will change its workflow using this device by augmenting and enhancing diagnosis and surgical capabilities.
ADVANTAGES:
1. Immediate decision-making with accuracy during diagnosis visit
2. Precise visualization of position of implants next to each other
3. Its three-dimensional shape allows precise evaluation of anatomic points such as the size of the edentulous space in both jaws even if saliva is obscuring clarity in the posterior area
4. Precise analysis of interocclusal space topography while closing the mouth
5. Provides information about size, direction, and teeth location for accurate positioning of implants
6. Accuracy of 0.1 mm intraoral visibility is not possible with a caliper
7. Reduced surgical exposure time
8. Less invasive, flapless surgery, and, therefore, less chance of swelling
9. Clinician’s state of low stress
10. Transparency of material, which allows seeing through the model while drilling
11. Improves free hand results if the stereolithography fabrication process is not available
12. Does not require an extra mouth opening that jeopardizes surgical procedures like other surgical guides.
13. cost-effectiveness
14. Added value to the product is that it comes with software that can have both, digital format in the CBCT and analog format in the mouth simultaneously. Which is a benefit that means if a patient that had CBCT done in another country and decides treatment elsewhere for surgery might not have to go for another X-RAY. Which means save time and money. This is the only device that has a prefabricated analog & digital format 1:1 ratio in any CBCT to its same dimension in a software.
DISADVANTAGES:
It can not perform as a fully guided surgery appliance
