The video below illustrates some of the pioneering efforts of Dr. Ganz to advance the use of imaging technologies in dentistry. This compilation video contains clips from Dr. Ganz's main podium presentation at the 1995 Academy of Osseointegration Meeting held in Chicago, the main podium presentation at the first joint meeting of the 1996 European Academy of Osseointegration and the Academy of Osseointegration held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and the main podium presentation at the 1997 Academy of Osseointegration Meeting.

These brief video clips show the evolution of the use of 3-D imaging technologies in cross-sectional, axial, panoramic, and 3-D views. The evolution of the use of barium sulfate radiopaque templates can be seen for planning implants, and bone grafting procedures. The final clip is of an actual case of immediate loading with the use of CT-derived templates. The planning phase, implant placement, and the stable soft tissue result at almost two years in function can be visualized through a brief patient testimonial about the procedure.
