Development of CAD/CAM technology has brought great enhancement in dentistry, especially in the field of dental implants. Guided  surgery is a specially designed software which enables more specific diagnosis, virtual treatment planning of surgical procedures, quick treatment and reduced risk of error.

Guided surgery objectives and purpose:

* 3 dimensional reconstruction of all or part of dental arch

* More predictable aesthetics and functional results

* Prior digital planning allows more suitable solution for each individual

       Guided implant surgery in India:
