FEATURE ARTICLE
There's no need to check films during surgery because the
whole process is done guided. Since everything is planned
up front, the implant can only end up in one place. With
this workflow, the entire surgery, from anesthetic until the
patient leaves the office, takes roughly 20 minutes.
Patient example
Historically, many dentists have found that patients who
they approached about teeth straightening were opposed
to getting braces. Today, we can show them in 3D what their
final crown will look like, and demonstrate how moving teeth
out of the way will give a proper-looking tooth.
For example, a patient with a missing primary canine was
scheduled with a surgeon to have an implant placed at
number 11. His wife convinced him to come in to our practice
and get a second opinion. To create a crown proposal, my
assistant did an optical scan and drew a margin around
where tooth number 11 was supposed to be. She put the
lower jaw into place on the screen, and it was immediately
obvious that the patient's occlusion was in the way and
there wasn't enough room for the implant.
In that case, we were able to have a discussion with the
patient and show him how he would be much better served
having orthodontic treatment first to move his teeth into the
right space. The patient agreed, and the result was better
for it.
Conclusion
Nowadays, with the current technology available, there's
no need for mystery or surprises during implant surgery.
3D imaging software - coupled with the right training to
make maximum use of the software - enables dentists to
have a digital process from prosthetic planning all the way
through execution of it surgically. This benefits patients
and practitioners alike. For patients, they are more part
of the process, and they can get in and out of the dentist
office in fewer visits. Perhaps most importantly, 3D imaging
technology takes the pressure off practitioners, who now
have the assurance up front that they're placing implants
precisely.
Dentsply Sirona Schick AE
With the Schick intraoral sensors, you get X-ray images in HD quality and
diagnostic-focused filter functions, in addition to a quicker and more flexible
way of working including:
Dentsply Sirona Axeos
Dentsply Sirona's new Axeos™
3D/2D imaging system delivers enhanced clinical
confidence, smart connectivity, and an exceptional experience, with the largest
field of view of any Dentsply Sirona 3D/2D system.
* Advanced Exposure technology - combining market-leading image quality at
theoretical 33.3 lp/mm with dedicated filtering options
* Enhanced low-dose dynamic range, resulting in improved diagnostics.
* Newly designed light and compact USB3 interface, in combination with the
Kevlar-reinforced, silicon-coated cable, helps to keep your sensor system up
and running.
* Three sensor sizes (0, 1, 2) provides imaging capabilities for patients of all
shapes and sizes.
* Multiple cable length configurations (3', 6', 9')
* In-office exchangeable cable
Axeos' multiple 3D volume sizes - up to Ø17x13 - and excellent 2D panoramic
images with auto-focus and sharp layer technology, ensure everyday practice
flexibility. The patented auto-positioner automatically determines the correct head
tilt and positions patients quickly in the occlusal plane-without need for a second
exposure. In addition to ensuring optimal images, this saves time and supports
patient safety by limiting exposures.
Axeos supports a broad range of treatments and helps you build a healthy practice
by enabling patient-centered experiences, greater practice efficiency, and the
opportunity for procedural expansion.
