Abstract

Implant dentistry has experienced significant advancements driven by emerging technologies, which have revolutionized the field and improved patient outcomes. This article provides an overview of the latest innovations in implant dentistry, focusing on computer-guided implantology, 3D printing, regenerative techniques, and digital workflows. Computer-guided implantology utilizes advanced imaging and planning software to enhance the accuracy and predictability of implant placement, thereby reducing surgical errors and improving overall treatment outcomes. The advent of 3D printing has transformed the production of customized dental prosthetics and surgical guides, offering benefits in terms of cost-efficiency and precision. Regenerative techniques, including bone grafting and guided tissue regeneration, have addressed challenges related to insufficient bone volume, contributing to higher success rates in implant procedures. Additionally, digital workflows that incorporate digital impressions, CAD/CAM technology, and virtual prosthetic design have streamlined the implant process, reducing errors and enhancing patient comfort. Despite these advancements, challenges such as high initial costs and the need for ongoing professional training remain. This review highlights the current state of these technologies, their clinical applications, and their potential to reshape the future of implant dentistry. By examining these innovations, the article underscores the transformative impact of emerging technologies on implant procedures, offering insights into their benefits and future directions for research and practice in the field.
