CONTRERAS MOLINA, Iván et al. Guided surgery in implantology practice. Rev. Odont. Mex [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.2, pp.117-122. ISSN 1870-199X.

In the field of implantology, surgical procedures have been performed with the assistance of computerized tomographies associated to the CAD/CAM technology. Digital images thus obtained, allow professionals to perform virtual surgical planning in specific software. This results in a prototyped guide which enables surgical procedures to be achieved in lesser clinical time, without flaps or sutures, yielding excellent post-operative results. The aim of the present article was to present the sequence of a clinical case in which implants were placed using guided surgery.
