How dentistry and implantology has changed in your office in phase 2?
There is no phase 1 or phase 2, there is a behavior and approach which we’ll respect in the office in the couple of years coming. Let’s start with the scheduling of the appointment of the patient: the receptionist is asking the patient about sicknesses, illnesses, cough, fever, smell alterations. The same questions she will ask 24 hours before the scheduled appointment when she calls all the patient for the next day.

Introduction
The evolution of digital dentistry and the development of a digital workflow has concentrated on digital planning with the use of Cone Beam CT scanning as well as using digital restorative tools to combine DICOM (Digital Imaging Communication in Medicine) and .stl (stereolithography) files to virtually plan, place and restore implants before using this plan to treat patients. The resulting benefits are reduced chair time, high precision and predictable aesthetic results often with immediate fixed provisional restorations available at time of surgery and corresponding high levels of patient satisfaction.
Intra-oral scanning to create digital ‘virtual impressions’ is also becoming more prevalent with the information being stored in the .stl file format. This information can be utilised by appropriate CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer aided manufacturing) software to design and manufacture a dental restoration (either by milling or 3D printing).
One area that is sometimes overlooked is the use of digital technology in occlusal analysis and adjustment of the restored dental implant. The following case study examines the occlusal management of a conventionally placed implant.

Abstract
We described a case report of a 66 years old patient with asymptomatic impacted maxillary canine free of any surrounding pathology. Extraction of the impacted tooth was avoided because of expected massive bone loss and possible complications. Two C-Tech implants were placed through the impacted tooth in region 13 and 14. Primary stability was achieved on 60N/cm. No postoperative pain, swelling or bleeding was reported by the patient. After four months implants were uncovered and rehabilitated prosthetically with E-max CAD bridge.
A 55 year old female patient was referred to our office for a full mouth rehabilitation. Upon clinical examination and a CBCT, we have decided to implant 4 EL C-Tech conical Morse tapered connection implants in the upper jaw for a bar retained over denture and due to financial considerations; was to perform extraction of all remaining lower teeth and immediate post extraction implantation of SD C-Tech mini dental implants. A full muco-periosteal flap was released, teeth were extracted, an alveotomy was performed to achieve an optimal bone platform for the SD mini dental implants and to obtain a bigger vertical dimension for the overdenture!
