Dr. Jorge M. Galante, professor at Universidad de Buenos Aires and Universidad del Salvador and
Dr. Nicolás Agustín Rubio, professor at Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad del Salvador and
ROCA International, present their experience on oral rehabilitation with oral implants in the book
entitled “Digital Dental Implantology” which has10 chapters.
This book describes the fusion of two technologies, namely CBCT and CAD/CAM aimed at pro-
viding surgical dental treatments and explains the advantages and applications of this digital
approach for implant placement procedures and other oral surgical protocols.
All aspects of computer-aided imaging and design are first covered in the textbook, including
the creation of DICOM and STL files, followed by the process of virtual merging to obtain a com-
bined image. Secondly, clinical tips for the use of digital wax up, software interactions and accu-
rate template fabrication are explained, including subtractive and additive methods used for this
manufacturing step. The other chapters are devoted to the application of technology fusion in im-
plantology, guided bone regeneration, and maxillofacial surgery. Both static and dynamic guided
surgeries are described. Materials characteristics and surgical instruments are also presented to
define the correct selection criteria.
The digital approach outlined in this textbook involves a paradigm shift in the way traditional oral
surgery is conceived. Technology fusion aims to improve treatment accuracy, optimize clinical
time and reduce patient morbidity. Clinicians will find this book to be a valuable guide for virtual
surgical planning and a path taking them into the exciting world of digital dental surgery.
