In implantology, the outcome is defined long before the surgery begins. It’s defined at the moment of decision when data turns into a plan, and that plan becomes a predictable result.
Over the years, I’ve noticed the same challenge among many skilled clinicians: they know the surgical steps perfectly, yet still hesitate when planning.
The CBCT is there but translating that data into a confident clinical decision isn’t always straightforward. This gap doesn’t come from lack of experience, it often comes from not having a clear structure that connects the image to a decision protocol.
In my practice, treatment planning always starts with a fixed set of questions:
What does the esthetic and functional framework look like?
What is the patient’s biotype?
What does the CBCT show in mesio-distal, bucco-lingual, and apico-coronal dimensions?
What bone volume and density are available?
These are clinical criteria. They guide implant positioning, platform selection, the decision on guided versus freehand surgery, and the need for hard or soft tissue augmentation.
Predictability is achieved through sequence, not chance.
A precise 3D analysis, evidence-based implant selection, respect for biological spaces, and prosthetic-driven planning from the start — these steps build reproducibility.
When each stage has logic and structure, decisions become faster, and outcomes more stable.
That’s also the principle behind my teaching. I focus on helping doctors develop clinical reasoning because when thinking becomes structured, confidence follows.
On November 25, from 7pm, I will have a workshop, we’ll go through this step-by-step protocol together:
📌 A clear scheme of the workflow:
📌 3–5 orientation criteria for standard cases
📌 Q&A session
📌 PDF checklist you can use immediately as a discussion and planning guide.

PS: The workshop will be held in Romanian, with all examples, discussions, and materials adapted to clinical realities in local practice.
