Simplant software (Materialse Corporation) for dental implants is a precise preoperative planning software that provides an increased level of confidence and an extra margin of safety for patients when planning the location of implants. This software allows the periodontist and restorative dentist to properly plan for the ideal position of implants in the available bone. Improved visualization of the mandibular nerve, maxillary sinus, and other bony structures can be accomplished with this software. Realistic three dimensional planning is possible when deciding on a specific course of treatment for each individual patient.
