Abstract
Preoperative patient evaluation and implant planning are required for dental implant surgery to be predictably successful. This article reviews necessary elements of the implant workup, including reviewing the patient’s medical history, performing hard and soft tissue evaluations, and assessing the alveolar ridges and dental arches. In addition, consideration is given to digital implant planning and surgical guide fabrication as means to simulate implant surgery preoperatively and then precisely execute that surgery clinically.
