Learning outcomes:
At the conclusion of this session, the audience will be able to:
- Understand the science and the biological principles of guided surgery an immediate function with the help of NobelGuide
- Describe how in complex surgical situations NobeGuide could help to create a predictable treatment outcome using evidence-based science
- Explain the clinical significance of the use of guided surgery versus conventional implant surgery.
- Discuss the treatment protocols for using NobelGuide in clinically challenging cases
