Dental implants are an inherent part of modern restorative dentistry. The use of implants to replace missing teeth has extended the restorative spectrum and significantly increased the treatment options for dentists to the benefit of our patients. Although the survival and success of modern dental implants has increased over the last few decades due to their improved design, surface structure, implant-abutment connection and restorative options, they are also associated with a significant number of complications, particularly in the long term. This can result in both dentists and patients being confronted with considerable unpleasant consequences, which can even result in the loss of the implant and the associated restoration or supra structure.

Multiple studies over the recent years have shown that careful and comprehensive treatment planning associated with an accurate and reliable assessment of the anatomical structures at the proposed implantation area as well as the use of a guide system that allows precise placement of the implant, are of paramount importance for predictable results and prevention of complications.

Numerous different software systems and applications for the assessment of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data and implant planning have been introduced over the past years by various implant companies or manufacturers of CBCT systems. All of them have their advantages and disadvantages, levels of precision and implant planning features. The introduction and further development of extra- and intraoral scanners along with associated software systems allows the merging of both CBCT and scanner data to increase the precision of implant planning, placement and restoration to a higher level. At present, there is a rapidly accelerating development of these devices and software systems as well as a continuous introduction of new systems, updates or modified versions. Whilst this technology is incredible, the rapid progression in the new world of digital dentistry make it very difficult for clinicians to keep ahead of the curve. For a general dentist, and even for a dental specialist, it is almost impossible to evaluate, compare, but more importantly, to master the different systems with continuous updates and modifications in order to provide the highest possible level of care to their patients.

The APOONA Health Solutions philosophy is to offer both general dentists and specialists a high quality and easy to access support service that assists them in the crucial parts of digital implant assessment and planning. In addition, we also provide a high-quality solution for guided implant surgery. Clinicians who use our service, will not waste their valuable time, will receive high quality and reliable plans and solutions created by experts in digital implant dentistry that allow them to focus on the provision of the optimal clinical solution for their patients.

Our experienced implant planning experts will examine and evaluate your CBCT and 3D scans and will provide you a comprehensive report including detailed measurements. They will also notify you regarding special anatomical considerations or “danger zones” and will suggest if possible, alternatives are required.

We offer three level of services:

How it works:

Sign up and open up an account with us to submit your patient’s CBCT or CT scan data and 3D intraoral or model scan in STL, PLY or DCM formats. We will provide you with a full assessment, design, and STL file for production of a Surgical Guide to 3D print in-house in your lab or surgery.

Our Services:

1- Silver Service

This service offers a full assessment of implant procedures, such as the feasibility of surgery, assessment of hard and soft tissue anatomy with a comprehensive report . You will be able to decide to go ahead with the surgery or change the treatment plan.

2- Gold Service

This service not only offers all case assessments and treatment plan evaluation but also provides you with a surgical guide design in STL format to 3D print in-house. Once, you have approved the size, position, and surgical protocol of the implant, we will design the surgical guide and send the STL as well as associated drilling and surgical protocols. from here you can print the guide in your lab or surgery. You can purchase the sleeves from local implant companies or suppliers.

3- Platinum Service (AGuide)

Includes the benefit of both silver and gold services, as well as a printed surgical guide and associated drilling and surgical protocols. we will supply the sleeves for this service. We will dispatch to your practice within a few business days.
