Implant Planning 1 article

Implant Planning combines restorative objectives with anatomical and medical assessment before an implant is placed. CBCT may be used when justified to evaluate bone volume and nearby structures, while prosthetic space, soft tissue, occlusion and the intended restoration guide three-dimensional implant position, length and diameter. Surgical guides and referral decisions follow from that plan rather than replace it. Pre-operative selection, three-dimensional positioning and restorative coordination are the core decisions; surgery and later maintenance belong to subsequent stages.
