CBCT : Cone beam computed tomography for dental implants surgery Introduction  Establishing an accurate dental implant diagnostic involves a painstaking clinical examination, often supplemented by additional radiological exams.  Cone Beam or CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography), and also known as digital cone beam volumetric tomography, is a rapidly growing 3D sectional imaging technique. It can be harnessed to explore calcified tissues, i.e. bones and teeth.  This article will be examining this revolution in dento-maxillary imaging, which has been widely adopted in dental surgeries, opening...

CAD/CAM: an essential partner in modern dentistry Introduction:A brief history Initially developed in the aeronautical and automobile industry in the 1960s, in order to standardise the production of routine, repetitive forms, CAD/CAM’s dentistry application was considered an ambitious and somewhat fanciful project, each prosthetic piece being unique and specific to the individual patient. In 1973, François Duret had the idea of transferring this concept to making dental prosthetics, and thus became the inventor of dental CAD/CAM, the foundations of which he discussed in...

Guided implant surgery Over the last few years, the trio of modern implantology development, imaging techniques and the digital revolution have combined to spawn the growth of a new protocol: computer aided implantology (CAI), or guided implant surgery. This innovative technique is used to fit dental implants using a digitally made guide, without disrupting the basic rule of modern implantology, where the prosthetic project controls the position of the implant and therefore the surgery. The primary aim of this surgical technique is to...

Optical impressions in odontology Introduction to optical impressions Optical impressions first appeared in the 1980s. They have now replaced conventional impressions, which were affected by various clear and recognised limitations, including stretching of impression materials, tearing, air bubbles that compromised the quality of these impressions and timeframes, as well as all processing phases required from the moulding stage, which considerably increased the number of adjustments in the mouth, and the risk of the final prosthesis failing. Since their invention, intra-oral scanners and cameras...
