Prosthetic-driven implant placement could minimize the risk of long term implant biological and technical complications. However, this relies heavily on the surgeons’ understanding of implant prosthetic reconstruction and the alveolar bone availability of the patients. Computer-guided surgery has become more and more popular. The technique allows precise pre-operative site assessment, 3-dimensional planning of implant position and relatively easy execution of the prosthetically driven surgicalplan, while it may come with an increase need of simultaneous bone augmentation. This workshop aims at providing a basic understanding of the computer-guided surgery with the use of coDiagnostiX™ as well as minor bone augmentation with guided bone regeneration technique.
