Digitalization in Dentistry in the time of CAD/CAM technologies reveals new possibilities for modern Prosthodontics and Implantology. CAD/CAM technologies in Fixed Prosthodontics are used for design and fabrication of provisional and permanent crowns (partial and full) and bridge restorations and in Dental Implantology for preliminary implant planning, surgical template design, guided surgery and fabrication of immediate and permanent implant supported restorations. Planning is the key of optimal implant placement for implant supported fixed restorations fabrication. The purpose of this lecture is to present a full laboratory and clinical CAD/ CAM implant planning protocol for Fixed Prosthodontics with 3D printed surgical guides. CAD/CAM applications will be illustrated with own clinical cases made in the CAD/CAM center in the Department of Prosthetic Dentistry, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Medical University – Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Clinical cases with CAD/CAM implant planning; surgical guides fabrication and CAD/CAM fixed implant-supported restorations will be present in the lecture. TRIOS, 3Shape Intraoral Scanner, 3Shape Dental System, 3Shape Implant Studio software and CAM – 5 S2 Impression, VHF were used for making the cases. The surgical guides were fabricated by 3D printer Formlabs. Modern CAD/CAM technologies present opportunities for optimization of the clinical and laboratory work in Fixed Prosthodontics and Implantology.
