In a landmark moment for the Indian dental community, Dr. Vikas Gowd, the leading force behind Dr. Gowds Dental, recently represented India at a high-level scientific summit in Germany and Poland. This wasn’t just a meeting; it was a global collaboration with experts from every European Union (EU) nation and the United Kingdom, in partnership with the European Association of Dental Implantologists.
The result? A world-first Consensus Statement on Digital Dentistry. This document now serves as the “Global Blueprint” for how dental implants are planned and placed across the world.
Why This Matters for Our Patients in Hyderabad
When you choose Dr. Gowds Dental, you aren’t just getting local expertise; you are getting treatment aligned with international protocols defined by the world’s best minds. This consensus ensures that the Digital Implant Workflow we use is safe, predictable, and remarkably precise.
The 4 Pillars of the New Global Digital Workflow
The consensus paper co-drafted by Dr. Vikas Gowd outlines four critical areas that are transforming the patient experience:
1. 3D Digital Diagnostics: No More Guesswork
Gone are the days of relying on 2D X-rays. The new global standard focuses on CBCT-based 3D diagnostics. By merging 3D bone scans with digital intraoral impressions of your teeth, we can virtually simulate your entire surgery before it even begins. This “prosthetically driven” planning ensures the implant is placed in the perfect position for both health and aesthetics.
2. Guided Surgery: Accuracy to the Millimeter
The summit standardized the use of Surgical Stents (Guides). These are 3D-printed templates that fit over your gums during surgery. They act as a GPS for the dentist, guiding the implant into the bone with pinpoint accuracy. This often allows for flapless surgery, meaning fewer cuts, no stitches, and much faster healing.
3. The STEMS Protocol: Precision Engineering
The consensus introduced STEMS, a specialized five-step execution model:
Scanning (Digital impressions)
Treatment Planning (Virtual 3D design)
Engineering Design (CAD software)
Manufacturing (3D printing/Milling)
Surgical Execution (The final procedure)
By using CAD-CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing), we can create custom implant components and temporary teeth that fit your mouth perfectly on the very first try.
4. Photogrammetry: The Future of Full-Mouth Restoration
For patients needing a full set of teeth, the paper highlights Photogrammetry. This technology captures digital impressions of an entire arch with incredible speed and accuracy, reducing the errors often found in traditional “goopy” mold impressions. It is the gold standard for full-mouth rehabilitation.
