O uso de recursos digitais nas reabilitações orais com implantes osseointegraveis: uma revisão da literatura

Abstract

Digital flow has gained considerable space in dentistry in recent years, with emphasis on implant dentistry, presenting itself as a viable tool with high potential for state-of-the-art practice. This generational transition has been corroborated by the high success rate portrayed in the various studies published to date. Given the rapid rise and speed of marketing, a careful analysis of the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, as well as the success rate of new mechanisms and techniques used in the area, is crucial. The objective of this study was to carry out an interactive review of the literature regarding the results presented in virtual planning on osseointegrable implants. A search was carried out for scientific works in English, published in the last five years in the PUBMED database using the keywords <Virtual implant=, <Implant framework= and <Digital prosthesis implanted=. Case reports, works without a clear methodology, works straying from the topic were excluded from the 321 articles obtained in the first searches, resulting in a total of 20 articles selected. The potential and viability of the digital technique in prosthetic rehabilitation on implants was verified, with favorable clinical results and accuracy in addition to advantages such as predictability, immediate loading, reduction of time and work steps, efficient communication with laboratories, safety and better adherence of treatment by the patient, but with a relatively high cost and complexity of the technique, implying training by professionals. It was concluded that the use of digital tools constitutes a completely valid alternative in prosthetic rehabilitation on osseointegrable implants and with a promising future that does not completely nullify the performance of conventional methods given the economic implications associated to date, the complexity of using the software apron. and CAD-CAM structures and the established effectiveness of conventional methods.
