In the last decade, the implementation in the daily practice of  game-changers like intra-oral and face scanners, planning softwares, computer guided implantology, both static and dynamic, has deeply modified the treatment algorithms in implant-prosthodontics, with big improvements in the efficiency, quality and timing of oral rehabilitations. In this lecture, the main changes in the operative daily dental practice  will be analysed, in the light of the author’s experience and of the most updated scientific literature.
