STOCKHOLM, Sweden: They say the future is now and that is certainly true for dental implants. The market is growing as more people missing one or more teeth are opting for dental implants. Moreover, the technology has improved. Dentists are no longer limited to guesswork or predesigned trajectory software. Now, they have Navident, a dynamic free-hand guided surgery system for dental implantation.

Navident is technology that gives dentists the data they need to place dental implants precisely. Using CBCT images as a map, the dental surgeon plans where the implants should be placed in these images. Then, during surgery, the dentist is guided by Navident’s optical sensor, which displays information on a graphic software interface. This tells the dentist where the drill is located, how close it is to the planned angle and how far it is from the planned depth. Navident provides real-time guidance and visual feedback to ensure the implants are placed according to plan.

The result of using Navident is precision, accurate to 0.5 mm. Dental surgery is among the most precise surgeries performed today. It has a small margin of error for ideal position, depth and angulation of the implants. Millimetres matter when approaching the mandibular nerve or the lingual artery. Implant placement that deviates by 2 or 3 mm from the treatment plan can result in a poor aesthetic outcome, a difficult restorative process, or worse, failure of the implants all together.

With Navident, patients experience a minimally invasive procedure. Flapless surgery means less chair time, less patient discomfort and less recovery time.

The Navident team of manufacturer ClaroNav will be exhibiting at the annual congress of the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO) in Stockholm from 24 to 26 September, at Booth S04. Attendees of the event are invited to visit the company’s stand to test the compact system themselves and to receive special show offers.
