Abstract
Implants are considered as potential alternatives while replacing missing teeth. Accurate planning and placement of implants in a predetermined position, plays an important role in determining the success of the prosthesis. Digital technology refers to the usage of computer controlled components that minimize manual work. In the past decade, digital technologies, like cone beam computer tomography, have been used right from diagnostic phase to treatment planning phase. With the advent of augmented reality, digital technology can be used even during the surgical phase.
