restorative technology I t is a great time to practice implant dentistry due to all of the surgical and restorative technology available to us as clinicians Surgically, we now have materials and growth factors that allow us to put the bone and soft tissue in an optimal position and in a predictable manner to help maximize positive restoration outcomes We are able to design the final prosthesis from the ideal incisal edge backwards, without being limited by the initial tissues present Visually, the digital revolution affords us the ability to use CT scans, 3D images, and treatment planning software for precise placement When a complete and accurate picture of the individual patient is available, a lot of the guesswork is removed, and precision is possible With 3D imaging, dentists have the capability of virtual surgery and placement to bolster confidence and solidify the treatment plan before picking up the scalpel Radiation levels can also potentially be minimized by imaging equipment that allows adjustable settings for exposure time Additionally, treatment planning software uses the latest technology to help keep the process streamlined and organized while also offering state-of-the-art treatment options to patients Technologically, the many applications of computer software in the dental office allow maximized patient comfort and minimized clinician aggravation I recently got a digital impression scanner (iTero®) It allows me to take a digital impression of the implant, replacing the goopy-mouth, old-style impressions Patients love it It is pretty slick, and clinicians enjoy that it saves them an impression appointment with the patient It creates a digital file; then a treatment plan can be formulated; then the file is sent wirelessly to the lab The lab can now fabricate a restoration solely from that digital file without ever having to pour up a stone model The digital file is much more precise as there is no margin of error from material shrinkage, etc It also allows for a faster turnaround time at the lab In my practice, in less than a week the crown is back Similar treatment planning software as is used by the CT scanner can now design abutments and crowns if desired Globally, it is easier than ever to share ideas with implant dentists both nationally and internationally Breakthroughs are no longer locked to a geographic location or specific publication Information sharing is faster than ever, and questions can be posted to peers and answered virtually instantly In the digital age, sharing files and radiographs with referring colleagues and specialists can be accomplished with the click of a mouse securely and quickly Responsible use of technology is a must for patient safety and treatment success Continuing education such as webinars, journals such as Implant Practice US, congresses and seminars, as well as educational venues, such as the Rocky Mountain Dental Institute, where I lecture, are all valuable tools to learn about the technologies that are available and how to use them safely and effectively in this fast-paced, competitive dental world Though some of the newer technologies are still in their infancies, I think that they too will become a great part of future progress When I lecture for continuing education classes, I stress the importance of integrating technology into implant dentistry because it is exciting to be on the cutting edge (no pun intended) of implant dentistry today as these new methods grow in popularity, prevalence, and precision Lewis
