Introduction

Implantology is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the surgical placement of dental implants to support prosthetic devices such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. With advances in technology, new techniques and methodologies have been explored to enhance the precision, longevity, and success rates of dental implants. One such technique that has garnered interest is spark erosion, a subtractive machining process used to achieve high precision in implant dentistry. Spark erosion, also known as Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), involves removing material from a workpiece by using electrical discharges (sparks). In implantology, this process is used to shape or modify metal parts of the implants to fit more accurately in a patient's bone structure.
