Two digital strategies in modern implantology -- root-analogue implants and the digital one-abutment/one-time concept


The irreversible trend toward digitization in dentistry and dental technology has resulted in technical progress and continuous changes to conventional workflows.

In particular, implantology and prosthetics have benefited from a multitude of interesting new possibilities. Three-dimensional (3D) computed radiography and digital surface scanning can be invaluable in terms of backward planning and making implant surgery and denture fabrication more predictable.

In this context, two digital implant-prosthetic treatment strategies are presented that allow for an efficient digital work- flow while ensuring a minimally invasive surgical procedure. By means of digital intraoperative scanning of the implant position, the digital one-abutment/one-time concept allows for the insertion of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM)-manufactured single crowns instantly after uncovering the implant.

The second approach uses 3D radiographic data to preoperatively manufacture a one-piece root-analogue implant (RAI) and insert it immediately after tooth extraction. Both ideas promise some advantages in terms of quality and preservation of periimplant tissues as well as a noticeable reduction in overall treatment time.
