Surgical Guides in Implant Dentistry: GUIDED IMPLANT SURGERY

This book provides a comprehensive and structured overview of surgical guides in dental implantology, emphasizing their critical role in achieving precision, predictability, and optimal prosthetic outcomes. It begins by tracing the evolution of implant dentistry?from conventional, anatomy-driven placement approaches to the modern concept of prosthetically guided implantology, where implant positioning is dictated by the final restorative outcome rather than merely available bone. This paradigm shift underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between prosthodontists and surgeons for successful treatment planning and execution.
