Abstract
Modern implantology uses techniques that can provide function, esthetics, and comfort with a minimally invasive surgical approach. Flapless implant surgery has been proposed to fulfill these requirements. Traditionally, flapless implant surgery was carried out by using a tissue punch technique, which may be potentially harmful because of the inherent blindness of the technique. The purpose of this article is to introduce a predictable flapless approach for treatment of 2 patients through principles of computer-guided implantology. Using dedicated interactive computer software programs and 3D radiographic techniques such as computed tomography (CT), the precise location of each implant was planned. Using the concept "prosthetic-driven implantology," surgery was carried out for the rehabilitation of 2 patients. The procedure of implant planning in this sophisticated technique has potential to yield substantial public health benefits. Although this modern approach may have many advantages, transferring virtual planning to the patient's mouth has only been developed recently. Further research is required to justify this novel approach for implant rehabilitation.
