How Dynamic Navigation Can Improve Accuracy and Minimize Errors.

The use of 3-dimensional imaging and guided surgery applications for implant dentistry has increased profoundly in the past several years. New technology has evolved to increase surgical speed and enhance patient comfort and care. Dynamic guided navigational surgery has improved dental implant surgery, enabling placement accuracy that compares favorably to traditional static guides. This article describes the benefits and improvements that guided navigational surgery provides, including efficient workflow, real-time feedback, enhanced access and visualization, and the ability to execute on-demand directional changes. Additionally, two clinical cases are presented that illustrate the use of dynamic navigation.
