Among the computer-aided technologies, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques represent by far the most attractive and accepted alternatives over their dynamic counterpart, navigational assistance. Based on many years of experience, we have determined that CAD/CAM technology for guiding dental implant surgery is valuable for rehabilitation of the anterior maxillary region and the management of complete or severe partial edentulism. The technology also guarantees the 3D parallelism of implants. The purpose of the present report is to describe indications for use of CAD/CAM dental implant guided surgery. We analyzed the clinical and radiological data of thirteen consecutive edentulous patients treated using CAD/CAM techniques. All of the patients had stable cosmetic results with a high rate of patient satisfaction at the final follow-up examination. No intra- and/or postoperative complications were encountered during any of the steps of the procedure. The application of CAD/CAM techniques produced successful outcomes in the patients presented in this series.
