Photogrammetry: The Secret to Dental Implant Precision

In the world of dental implants, precision is everything. A perfectly placed implant not only ensures long-term success but also provides the comfort and aesthetics patients deserve. At Truly Dental, we’re proud to lead the way by integrating cutting-edge technology like the iCam 4D photogrammetry system into our implant procedures. This revolutionary tool is transforming how we deliver care, making implant success more predictable and reliable than ever before.

The Science Behind the Technology: What is Photogrammetry?

Photogrammetry is an advanced technique that captures precise 3D spatial data using high-resolution images. In dentistry, this technology is used to record the exact positions of dental implants with micrometer-level accuracy. The iCam 4D system stands out because it utilizes four moving cameras, offering superior precision compared to traditional two-camera systems, making it highly effective even in the most complex surgical cases. By delivering a flawless fit for implant-supported restorations, photogrammetry significantly improves outcomes, even in the most demanding scenarios.
 

Advancing Beyond Traditional Techniques: Why Photogrammetry is Better

Traditional methods for capturing implant positions, such as physical impressions and intraoral scanners, have long been used in dentistry. However, these methods come with challenges that can impact the success of your dental implants:

• Risk of Inaccuracies: Physical impressions can deform during handling, leading to errors in the final restoration. Intraoral scans, especially for full arches, may introduce inaccuracies when combining multiple images.
• Comfort Issues: Traditional impressions often cause discomfort for patients, particularly those with a sensitive gag reflex.
• Error Accumulation: Every stage of the prosthetic process—from impressions to fabrication—can introduce small errors that “stack up,” potentially leading to a poor fit.

Why Photogrammetry is Superior

Photogrammetry addresses these challenges with unmatched precision and efficiency:

• Ultra-Precise Records: The iCam 4D system captures implant positions with micrometer accuracy, reducing errors from the very beginning.
• Improved Fit: By starting with precise data, we minimize the risk of complications and ensure restorations fit perfectly without adjustments.
• Enhanced Patient Experience: The process is quick, non-invasive, and significantly reduces the need for additional appointments.
• Long-Term Success: A perfect fit reduces stress on implants, increasing their longevity and ensuring patient satisfaction.
• Optimized Workflow: Photogrammetry allows us to streamline the prosthetic process, delivering faster and more reliable results.

Transforming Implant Surgery: How Truly Dental Utilizes Photogrammetry

At Truly Dental, we harness the power of photogrammetry to deliver exceptional outcomes for our implant patients. Here’s how the process works in our clinics:

1. Capturing Implant Positions: After placing the implants, we use the iCam 4D to capture their exact spatial positions with unparalleled accuracy. Specialized photogrammetry markers are attached to the implants, allowing the system to calculate their positions with micrometer precision.
2. Integrating with Digital Workflows: The photogrammetry data is seamlessly integrated into our digital design systems. This allows us to create custom prosthetics that fit perfectly onto the implants.
3. Final Restoration with Boris Dental Lab: Using the precise data captured through photogrammetry, our in-house Boris Dental Lab crafts the final implant restorations. This close collaboration between clinicians and technicians ensures that prosthetics are designed with exceptional accuracy, tailored to each patient’s needs, and delivered faster due to streamlined communication.
4. Enhanced Patient Comfort: The process is quick and non-invasive, reducing the time patients spend in the chair and ensuring a more comfortable experience.

Whether it’s a single tooth replacement or a full-arch restoration, photogrammetry ensures a level of precision that’s unmatched by traditional methods.
