Abstract
Preoperative planning is based on clinical evaluation (general health status and in particular oral status) and radiographic findings, completed, if desired, by a surgical guide or software program for simulation of implant placement. Particular care must be paid to the type of edentulism, using the Kennedy and/or Misch/Judy classifications. Along with the results of manual palpation, plaster models mounted in occlusion on an articulator, 3D cone beam analysis using the basal implant library, and a stereolithographic model, a treatment plan can be formulated and discussed with the operating team. The final discussion with the patient should address both expectations and feasible treatment options. The optimal restorative option for the patient, overall cost, and timing can then be established. Every phase of the operation must be anticipated and clearly defined in a logical sequence. Potential problems and alternative solutions must be explained to the patient.
