Abstract: the article analyzes the domestic and foreign experience of planning the preparation of the oral cavity for prosthetics. Recently, thanks to the development of computer technologies, the possibility of virtual 3D-modeling of the prosthesis design and its further prototyping has appeared [1; 2; 5]. Digital treatment planning, based on three-dimensional imaging procedures, allows planning therapy with absolute precision and making the result of treatment accurately predictable.
Analysis of domestic experience shows that one of the most common in the practice of prosthetic dentistry is the program Blue Sky Plan. Templates made in the program are easily exported to STL files and do not require additional processing. The program contains a wide range of implant systems.
In foreign practice, guided surgery from DENTSPLY Implants is the most popular, which offers a comprehensive solution for digital planning of treatment and placement of implants based on templates of SIMPLANT software.
