Today, with the development of technology, the treatment of tooth deficiencies has also become easier. Safely applying and planning implants in missing teeth is one of the most important developments in recent years. Tooth loss may occur as a result of periodontal problems, caries, nutritional disorders and insufficient oral health care. Implant continues to be the best treatment option in the treatment of tooth loss.
With the help of technology, dental volumetric tomography taken from the patient and the 'Guide' (surgical guide) specially prepared for the patient, makes the treatment of tooth deficiencies even easier. The planning made on the images obtained by processing the images taken from the computerized tomography in the computer program aims to minimize the mistakes that the physician will make during the surgery. With the help of the guide, the location, angle and depth of the implants can be planned in the best way. If the amount of keratinized tissue is sufficient in the areas where the implant will be applied; The transmucosal approach may be preferred. Punching is done without removing the guide. There is a special trephine bur designed for this purpose. The feature of this bur is to prepare a place for the pilot (initial) bur while performing the mucosal punch.
With the help of these Guides, which are specially prepared for each patient, it is a safe surgical procedure for the physician as well as being comfortable for the patient. Bleeding, pain and edema are minimized after the procedure, resulting in a comfortable treatment for the patient.
