3-D Biomodels for Implant Placement

Dr. A asks:

BioModelI’m wondering how others are using 3-D life-size, physical, biomodels in dental implant treatment planning and implant placement?

In some ways, I think that the growing sophistication of 3-D dental modeling software makes these physical models somewhat superflous, but on the other hand I do agree that a real-life physical model provides certain advantages over just an image on a computer screen. So are you using these physical biomodels in all cases, or only in the more complicated situations? What other benefits have you gotten from using these biomodels?

    An outstanding use of these models is Block grafting preparation before the patient’s surgery.You can shape and fixate the allogenic bone block onto the sterilized model and this shortens the surgery and stress to a minimum.
    Of course it is also used for stent fabrication.
