Dynamic navigation for the placement of dental implants has been shown to be accurate, precise and efficient. The significant increase in the adaptation of this technology has led to refinements in the techniques for the placement of dental implants in both dentate and edentulous procedures. A new form of “dynamically guided prosthetics” has evolved and new “off-label” uses also have occurred. This hands-on program will guide the participants from the freehand approach to dynamic guidance for dental implant placement and guided prosthetics.

There will be a refreshment break from 3:00 pm—3:30 pm.

Learning Objectives:

• Review the literature related to dynamic navigation and its uses in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
• Describe the latest techniques for the placement of dental implants using dynamic navigation and dynamically guided prosthetics for single, multiunit and edentulous patients.
• Explore the latest “off-label” uses of dynamic navigation (i.e., third molar extraction, supernumerary tooth extractions, deep-bone biopsies, root shield, ridge splitting, bone rings graft and sinus elevation procedures).
• Complete a hands-on experience with a dynamic navigation system (i.e., digital treatment planning, surgical suite setup, the use of intraoral scanning, fabrication of fiducial registration clips and other practical clinical applications).
