Integrating Prosthetically Guided Oral Implant Rehabilitation and Tissue Regenerative Therapy

Over the past decade, there has been an increase in oral implant treatments. With the advent of digital workflows and integration of guided surgical approaches, there has been a trend that shows when implants are planned, they are positioned where the bone is rather than where the restorative position dictates. These planned implants are usually in a more lingual or palatal position and when the restorations are completed, the patients may experience various complications such as food impaction and the inability to properly maintain their implant suprastructures. Additionally, the accumulation of bacteria and plaque leads to the potential of periimplant infection and prosthetic complications which may lead to the potential failure of the implant itself.
