“All-on 4, All-on 6 and DIOnavi. Full Arch are easy”

DIOnavi. Full Arch, Patient and Clinician are both satisfied... Accurately realize implant surgery according to the clinical concept

Dr. Su-jeong Shin has her own clinic, The Joeun Dental Clinic, but is researching prosthetic treatment and implants for edentulous patients.
She said "Before the guide surgery, I felt insufficient for the implant surgery. It's a regret when it's not exactly the same as I thought. Everyone feels similar like me, but if I look at the loupe, it's a little bit more disappointing when I measure it at 0.1mm. After doing the guide surgery, I felt that the last puzzle was filled. The advantage of the guide is that it fits exactly with the concept that the clinician thinks. In the meantime, with the exception of a few cases, such as patients with severe opening difficulty and emergency surgery, almost all patients are produced and processed in the hospital with 100% DIOnavi.”

Helping a patient treatment is the standard
In the meantime, edentulous patients had to either go for fixation using implants or choose one of over dentures using a bar or attachment. Since the over denture is not fixed, it is less comfortable like a natural tooth.
To go with a fixed type, it is necessary to consider the cost of implanting eight at maxilla and more than six at mandible and the volume of bone. Among patients who have used the denture for a long time, if you want to fix it with an implant and use it like own teeth, the implant procedure of the All on 4 and All on 6 concept has a long history and the method is proven, but it was difficult to apply at the clinic due to the difficulty of prosthetic application.
While She was regretting the limitations of treatment options for edentulous patients, DIOnavi. Full Arch made it easy to apply such Full Arch implants of All on 4 and All on 6 concepts in clinical case. Dr. Shin said the results were very good in the actual cases so far, and the patient was satisfied and the clinician was able to perform surgery and prosthetics without difficulty.
Sophistication is the key in digital implant surgery.
Digital Full Arch refers to a digital implant surgery and prosthetic method that restores the function of the entire tooth by placing only 4 to 6 small implants in the maxilla and mandible.
In case of patients with having edentulous jaw for a long time or severe periodontal disease, the position of the maxillary sinus and absorption of the remaining alveolar in the maxilla, and the mental foramen of the mandible and the absorption of the posterior inferior alveolar nerve and remaining alveolar ridge make it difficult to place dentures in an appropriate location is often used.
For such patients, All on 4 or 6 surgery and prosthetics are conveniently available for fixed implant prosthetics, which many practitioners know, but were difficult to access due to difficult and complex surgery and prosthetics. Dr. Shin also had surgery and prosthetics that were difficult to use for the same reason, but DIOnavi. Full Arch treatment could solve all of these inconveniences and difficulties.
Both the clinician and the patient were satisfied because not only the convenience of surgery and temporary prosthetic, but also the patient's discomfort can be solved quickly by using temporary prosthetic immediately after surgery, and the final prosthetic process can be done with a simple oral scan process.
DIOnavi. Full Arch Clinical Case
Accuracy and efficiency are the most important parts of digital care. The reason for insisting on guide surgery is the desire to place fixtures at the best location and angle without 0.1mm error, which is more effective if the surgery is difficult, for example, when the case or residual bone is horizontally and vertically insufficient.
In addition, it is very convenient because the operation time is significantly shortened and the impression is simplified using intra oral scanner, which all benefits return to the patient. In addition, digital methods are expected to continue to develop hardware and software.
Dr. Shin said, “I think the strength of the DIOnavi. guide surgery is the sophistication. First of all, since the tube that fits the drill size is inserted at a low speed during initial drilling, the initial error can be significantly reduced, and it is difficult to drill in a different direction arbitrarily because there is a sleeve inside the guide. Due to the specification of guided surgery, it is a surgery method that completely depends on the guide, so precision is the most important factor when selecting a system. Since DIO can support all of the hardware and software of the overall digital dentistry, I think it is very good as a companion for digital treatment, and since DIO has provided fully demonstrations, education, and necessary services and support, I can perform the digital treatment without inconvenience. ”
