Navident dynamic navigation functions like real-time guidance during implant surgery, helping the dentist compare the planned position with the direction of the instrument. Dr. Selene Kuo explains how this technology supports precision and minimally invasive care.
Video Highlights
- Before treatment, imaging and planning software are used to determine the intended implant position, angle, and depth.
- During surgery, real-time tracking helps the dentist confirm the instrument position relative to the plan.
- Navigation can help avoid critical anatomy and reduce the surgical field, but it does not replace clinical judgment or a complete preoperative assessment.
- Whether a minimally invasive approach is appropriate still depends on bone, gum tissue, infection, and the overall treatment needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does dynamic navigation guarantee a painless, risk-free procedure?
No. Navigation is a supporting tool that improves visualization and control. Every surgery still has risks and individual variability; anesthesia, incision size, and recovery must be assessed case by case.
