Abstract
Aim of the study: The purpose of this study was to assess the choices and viewpoints of various Implantologists regarding efficacy of guided implant surgery in the field of prosthodontics. Methodology: A questionnaire survey was conducted amongst 10 Implantologists over a period of 2 years about the efficacy of guided implant surgery for prosthetic rehabilitation. Results: The results show that Implantologists prefer both static and dynamic computer aided navigation placement of Implants. Dynamic was preferred in cases more (69%), where there was reduced mouth opening as opposed to static navigation systems especially in the posterior region of the oral cavity. Conclusion: Guided implants insertion often permits mini-invasive surgeries without the need to elevate a surgical flap. Computer guided implant surgery may appear to provide dental professionals with a all-inclusive, reliable and detailed solution to sophisti-cated cases bringing about novel and exciting possibilities.
