Incision-free implantation involves use of a pre-made surgical implant that can be placed without slicing open the gum.
After CT, the oral cavity is scanned and all data is processed by a computer. Based on this data, the implant surgeon performs a virtual implantation with the patient’s orthopaedic characteristics in order to find the best shape and position for the implant. After that, a special machine forms the surgical matrix, i.e. the template that guides the implantation. Use of this method reduces the duration of the operation and facilitates the postoperative period, allowing the patient to avoid discomfort usually caused by sutures and gum swelling.
Digital implantation is the preferred method; the only exceptions are when a preliminary extraction of the tooth or bone tissue grafting is required, and when the volume of available jawbone is insufficient.
