	Nobel Biocare Hands-on Workshop (Scientific Session Attendees) Sofitel Hotel Saturday, May 12th · 2:00pm - 5:00pm Dynamic Navigation for Dental Implants and Beyond - Every Patient, Every Implant, Every Time Most dental implants are placed freehand. Dynamically guided implant surgery allows for guided prosthetics which is the primary goal of all implant placement. Evidence based literature shows that computer guided implant placement is significantly more accurate and precise than freehand placement. Improved accuracy, precision and digital collaboration results in more predictable restorative outcomes. Dynamic navigation allows the implant team to guide every implant on every patient in an efficient and ergonomic fashion. This program will review the principle of dynamic navigation, the literature, implementation and finally its clinical application with clinical examples.
