Image: Teemu Lindroos Last spring, Dr Seppo Lindroos was
approached by a young female patient with
several congenitally missing teeth and
a weakened bite. To prevent further issues
the missing teeth might cause for the patient,
Lindroos decided to perform guided implant
surgery at his Medident Dental Clinic in Finland.
The following case report illustrates how
seamlessly Planmeca solutions can be used
for each step of the treatment and treatment
planning.

DR SEPPO LINDROOS is a specialist in aesthetic dentistry and
implantology. Last spring, he was contacted by a patient who was
having issues with her bite due to several missing teeth.

The patient, a female in her twenties, had congenitally missing
permanent mandibular second premolars and second molars.
She had lost her persistent primary second molar a couple of years
earlier and was now experiencing problems with her weakened
bite. A panoramic X-ray image was captured with a Planmeca
Promax® 2D imaging unit to get more information about the
dentition.
