Abstract
-
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: It is important to have a correct presurgical treatment plan before any implant surgery. It must contain substantial information about the patient concerned. However, the standard classification only notifies the dentist about various structural, pathological and physiological dimensions. Due to diverse structure of the jaw bone, current standard classification does not tell spatial dimensions of the available bone for implant insertion sites.
PURPOSE OF STUDY: The purpose of this study is to report the establishment of the systematic implant treatment plan and its clinical treatment using Implan(R) program which is based on ASCIi-classification that is available for future diagnosis and scale of treatment and for systematic implant insertion.
RESULTS
By assisting the systemic measurement of the available alveolus dimension during implant surgery, it was easy to set initial implant treatment plan.
CONCLUSION
Using Implan(R) program which is based on ASCIi-classification system that allows the establishment of systemic implant treatment plan and successful clinical performance, it was possible to establish the founding of initial implant treatment plan, the acquisition of information, and the systematization of documentation.
