Description

DIGITAL ANALYSIS SYSTEM FOR IMPLANT TREATMENT}

The present invention relates to a digital analysis system for implant surgery, and more particularly, to a digital analysis system for implant surgery implemented to accurately determine whether or not a patient's implant is placed using a 3D stereoscopic image.

Implants are attracting attention from patients with tooth defects due to their advantages such as not damaging natural teeth, being very comfortable, and having good aesthetic effects, and are also one of the important means for repairing missing teeth today.

Implant technology has a history of over 40 years to this day.

In the process of ceaseless development, through the accumulation of cases and experimental research by clinicians and scholars, more scientific and rational treatment methods and techniques were gradually found, and the success rate after implant surgery was gradually improved.

Currently, the most common implant is composed of two parts, and includes an implant located in the jawbone and an upper prosthesis located in the oral cavity.

At the same time, the implant restoration ideology has also shifted from “surgical focus” to “repair center”.

However, while implants have been widely applied to clinical treatment, related complications are constantly appearing.

As a result of the study, causes of implant complications include poor 3D placement of implants, insufficient soft tissue thickness around implants, and poor design of the prosthesis.

These factors are mainly related to insufficient spatial analysis before surgery.

Therefore, it is very necessary to analyze the oral cavity and model space before surgery in order to reduce the occurrence of harmful cases such as implant complications, and to more effectively implement implanted body placement centered on the restoration.

On the other hand, the above-described background technology is technical information that the inventor possessed for derivation of the present invention or acquired during the derivation process of the present invention, and is not necessarily a known technology disclosed to the general public prior to filing the present invention. .
