Abstract

This paper presents a new method for dental implant surgery. A preoperative planning software is used to work with CT scanner data. Implant fixtures are placed with the help of a 3D reconstructed model of the patient's jaw. An accurate robot is then used to drill a jaw splint, at the locations determined with the planning software, in order to make a surgical guide. A validation case of this new technique is also presented.
