The use of 3D is evolving at a dizzying pace, affecting a multitude of sectors and, of course, dentistry is no exception. In terms of dental implantology<\/strong><\/a> this revolution has a name of its own: guided surgery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/h2>\n

The guided surgeries are carried out thanks to splints made of biocompatible resin in 3D printers with which, by means of integrated rings, the implant is placed in the exact position that has been determined during the previous planning carried out thanks to the 3D technology provided by the CBCT type X-rays that we have at V\u00e9lez y Lozano.<\/p>\n

The digital packaging of the guided splinting<\/strong> is carried out thanks to a digital scan of the patient's mouth in a specialised software whose objective is to superimpose the radiological data with the dental and gingival surfaces on which the guided splint will be digitally worked on.<\/p>\n

The technology required, therefore, involves the aforementioned X-ray apparatus known as the CBCT<\/strong> (Cone Beam Computed Tomography<\/em> and a 3D printer with SLA technology, so few dental clinics, such as ours, can perform this type of surgery.<\/p>\n
