Objective: to report a clinical case of rehabilitation with dental implant performed using ultra-low dose Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT), open source software for image manipulation, and low cost 3D printing of the surgical guide. Case report: a 50-year-old male patient was clinically evaluated complaining of pain in the tooth 45, and a root fracture was suspected. As a complement to the clinical examination, the patient performed an ultra-low dose MDCT to assess the dental condition and the adjacent bone tissue. A vertical root fracture was diagnosed, and then the virtual planning of the implant and preparation of the surgical guide were performed. The DICOM images from the MDCT were converted into STL (Stereolithography) format for manipulation and confection of the virtual surgical guide. The surgical guide was printed on PLA using a 3D printer by the FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) method. After atraumatic extraction, the surgical guide was placed in the adjacent teeth and the implant was inserted. Clinically, the patient is asymptomatic, the implant has no clinical signs of inflammation, and the prosthesis is in function. A second ultra-low dose MDCT of the patient allowed a three-dimensional comparison of the final position of the implant and the virtual planning, which were shown to be equivalent. Final considerations: 3D PLA printing has proved to be an affordable solution for the production of surgical guides, providing predictability and safety for the implantologist.
