Tooth loss can result from cavities, trauma, genetics, and periodontitis. For over 30 years, dental implants have been a reliable treatment option. Prior to implants, bridges and dentures were the standard solutions. Implants, however, provide greater predictability and a higher success rate.

A key factor in the success of dental implants lies in the surgical procedure. One critical question during treatment planning is whether to use a freehand technique or guided surgery.

This decision depends on various factors, including the specifics of each case and the clinician's preference. Freehand techniques are more cost-effective, relying on diagnostic information for implant placement. On the other hand, guided surgery utilizes a digitally designed surgical guide, offering enhanced accuracy and predictability.
