ABSTRACT
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: It is important to have a correct presurgical treatment plan before any implant surgery. It must contain substantial information about the patient concerned. However, the standard classification only notifies the dentist about various structural, pathological and physiological dimensions. Due to diverse structure of the jaw bone, current standard classification does not tell spatial dimensions of the available bone for implant insertion sites. PURPOSE OF STUDY: The purpose of this study is to report the establishment of the systematic implant treatment plan and its clinical treatment using Implan(R) program which is based on ASCIi-classification that is available for future diagnosis and scale of treatment and for systematic implant insertion. RESULTS: By assisting the systemic measurement of the available alveolus dimension during implant surgery, it was easy to set initial implant treatment plan. CONCLUSION: Using Implan(R) program which is based on ASCIi-classification system that allows the establishment of systemic implant treatment plan and successful clinical performance, it was possible to establish the founding of initial implant treatment plan, the acquisition of information, and the systematization of documentation.

STATEMENT of PROBLEM: As a standard means of diagnostics, an orthopantomogram(OPT) permits to measure the vertical and mesiodistal dimension of available bone at the desired implant site with the help of suitable radioopaque references. Based on the clinical investigation of the dentition and the edentulous sites, information upon the width of the implant site can be obtained and documented in the dental scheme. Both findings permit together systematic primary planning for endosteal implants. PURPOSE of STUDY: Contents of the present article are the representation of a semiquantitative classification of available bone with the aim to simplify the primary phase of a systematic implant planning. RESULTS: Thus the ASCII-system permits a clear protocol of bone findings for the implant case with all information available during the primary appointment for treatment planning as a basis of further diagnostic and therapeutic measures. CONCLUSION: With the ASCII system, important parameters such as alveolar height and subcrestal alveolar width can be documented systematically, easily and time saving in the dental scheme as a basis for exact treatment planning.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Commonly used classification systems do not inform fo dentists the dimension of the available bone at a potential implant site although regarding a variety of morphologic and pathophysiologic aspects using schematic graphs. However, for the implantologist the availability of bone substance is most important independent whether it concerns the jaw basis or the alveolus. PURPOSE OF STUDY: The present article refers to a new evaluation form, to analyze the available bone with regard to optional immediate loading site by site. According to a new systematic implant planning concept will be presented in two case reports. RESULTS: The feasibility of the classification for planning and documentation of immediately loaded implants is presented in two case reports. CONCLUSION: The factor of bone support for immediate functional stability is important in dental implantology. The new systematic implant planning helps to systematically estimate the dimension (ASCIi classification) of the alveolus site by site to evaluate the possibility of immediate loading. The G ttingen classification thus aids to determine the degree of stability that can be expected for the planned solution.
