The evolution of the Global Dental Implants Market is being rapidly accelerated by the integration of digital dentistry, which enhances the precision, predictability, and customization of the entire implant procedure.
-
Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM): This technology uses intraoral scanners and Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to create highly accurate 3D models of the patient's jaw. The software then allows the clinician to virtually plan the optimal implant placement, considering nerve location, bone density, and the final prosthetic design.
-
Guided Surgery: The digital planning data is used to fabricate a custom surgical guide (often via 3D printing). This guide fits over the patient's existing teeth or gums during surgery, ensuring the implant is placed with unparalleled accuracy in the pre-determined position and angle, minimizing surgical trauma and reducing patient recovery time.
-
Customization: CAD/CAM is essential for creating highly personalized components, such as custom abutments and final prosthetic crowns, which are tailored to the patient’s anatomy for optimal fit, function, and aesthetic appearance, driving demand for premium solutions in the market.
