Transformation and future of restorative oriented implant procedure

Abstract

In Japan, where super aging is proceeding, extension of healthy life expectancy is an important issue. Many reports have been reported that oral health affects the general condition. Especially after the loss of teeth, restoration of proper artificial occlusion is related to systemic nutritional status and frequency of occurrence and survival rate of life. The importance of prosthodontic treatment is indicated.

Digitization of dentistry is progressing. Development and application of digital technology related to implant treatment are changing as well. In implant treatment, the concept related to implant placement has been transformed from a jawbone-oriented type to a prosthetic-oriented type. Workflow of prosthetic device-driven implant treatment was digitized from analog methods using film media. Computer aided dental procedure will be further advanced.
