| Popis: | Advancements have transformed dentistry, and digital planning software has emerged as a revolutionary tool in implantology. The present review explores the capabilities, benefits, and limitations of digital planning software in implantology, emphasising its impact on clinical practice and patient outcomes. Traditional implant planning relied on Two-dimensional (2D) radiographs and physical study models, limiting accuracy and predictability. Digital planning software utilises advanced imaging technologies to generate precise Threedimensional (3D) models of the patient’s dentition, enabling comprehensive treatment planning. Key features include 3D visualisation, virtual implant placement, prosthetic-driven planning, and simulations. These features enhance accuracy, enable collaborative decisionmaking, and streamline the treatment process. Commercially available digital planning software options offer similar advantages but also have unique features. Studies support the clinical efficacy of digital planning in implant placement, showing improved accuracy, patient satisfaction, and reduced complications. However, more randomised controlled trials are needed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of digitally guided implant placement. Considerations include the need for high-quality input data, a learning curve for software proficiency, and cost considerations. Nevertheless, digital planning software has become an indispensable tool in implantology, enhancing treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction. The future of digital planning software in implantology lies in Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration, automation, and personalised recommendations. With ongoing advancements, digital planning software will continue to revolutionise implantology, optimising treatment planning and execution for improved patient care. |
