Computer-aided implant surgery has been introduced in recent years, with the aim of simplifying and improving the diagnostic phase and providing predictable implantology results, as this field is a highly operator-dependent surgical technique. It can also reduce the need for bone regeneration, allowing the use of all available bone tissues and respecting prosthetic-guided implantology principles, achieving a final result that satisfies both aesthetics and biomechanics. Computer aided implantology is useful and beneficial to the patients as they experience less surgical trauma, pain, and swelling while their recovery time is reduced and the ability to return to their normal lives is expedited.
