PREDICTABILITY OF GUIDED SURGERY IN IMPLANTODONTICS

Abstract

Guided surgery in implant dentistry is a technique that has gained prominence in recent years. The objective of this article is to discuss the predictability of guided surgery in implant dentistry, based on the main studies and research on the subject. The design adopted a qualitative and quantitative methodological approach of an exploratory and descriptive nature, being carried out through an integrative literature review. The results of this study show that guided surgery on dental implants represents an important progress in the field of dental medicine. The use of virtual planning technologies, advanced CT studies and digital surgical guides offer a highly accurate and minimally invasive approach. This leads to significant benefits, such as reduced surgical time, reduced postoperative morbidity and increased patient comfort. Therefore, it is concluded that guided surgery on dental implants is an advance in dentistry, offering precision and minimizing invasions. Reduces surgical time, postoperative morbidity and improves patient comfort. However, it is necessary to highlight that, like any innovative technique, it requires adequate training and equipment and that, despite the challenges, it has the potential to become popular with technological advances. It is one of the most promising areas of contemporary dentistry.
