Principle of simulation of the positioning of the implants
In order to calculate the bone volume available to place the implants, the practitioner performs a scanner or a cone beam, which gives three-dimensional images of the jaws. These images can then be scanned and imported into a simulation software. The dental surgeon then designs the future prosthesis on these images and positions the future implants optimally so that they meet the prosthetic needs of the patient.
In these images, all the anatomical obstacles (adjacent teeth, nerves, sinuses, …) can be visualized. This full-scale simulation of the surgical procedure makes it more predictable and safer.
