Computer-guided implant insertion in a patient with impacted maxillary canines: case report.

The use of minimally invasive surgical techniques undoubtedly represents a huge advantage for both the clinician and the patient. This case report shows the possibility of making an implant-prosthetic rehabilitation in an upper jaw in a patient who presented dental elements 1.3 and 2.3 in bone inclusion. The use of computer-guided surgery offers us the possibility to carry out this type of implant rehabilitation without performing the extraction of the above-mentioned dental elements combined with the bone regeneration of the extraction sockets. Consequently, surgery invasiveness and post-surgery complications are reduced to a minimum. Additionally, the predictability of the methodology is evaluated with specific software that enables a comparison between what is virtually planned and what occurs in clinical practice.
