Abstract

The dual cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) method is the established way of planning prosthetically driven implant treatment for edentulous jaws. Although effective, it is time-consuming and complex for dynamic real-time navigation surgery procedures. This article presents a novel technique that describes a single CBCT scan registration method integrating diagnostic denture information into dynamic real-time navigation to streamline the implant planning process effectively.
