NAVIGATION SURGERY AND TELEMEDICINE

In oral and maxillofacial surgery and in surgical dentistry, for a number of years there has been a distinct trend towards the use of navigation surgery techniques, from dental implantology through to treatment of facial deformities and advanced tumors.

The use of telecommunications and navigation surgery make it possible to plan and perform operations on patients with millimeter accuracy. The patient’s condition can be accurately analyzed in advance and the ideal surgical method for that particular patient can then be decided. There is also the possibility of interactive teleconsultation, to achieve greater collaboration between various specialists.

We have been providing our patients with a high degree of reliability and quality for years with the aid of this technology. Nevertheless, this method should only be seen as an aid to conventional methods because even the best computer technology cannot replace the surgical expertise and years of operating experience of a surgeon.
