Abstract: Implant-supported full-arch fixed restorations have become an important treatment for potentially edentulous jaws with severe periodontitis. The advent of immediate implantation has dramatically shortened the treatment period of patients, and digital guides allow for precise, efficient and minimally invasive immediate implant surgery. However, there are few clinical reports on full-arch immediate implantation using digital guides in patients with severe periodontitis. In this review, the application of different digital guides in full-arch immediate implant placement for patients with severe periodontitis is discussed and summarized.

Key words: Digital guide, Sequential guide, Periodontitis, Immediate implantation
