        abstract = {Digital technologies are changing how implants are cared for in people who have had periodontitis in the past. They provide accurate diagnoses, controlled surgical execution, prosthetic refinement, and proactive maintenance. This review summarizes the latest research on intraoral scanning (IOS), cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), static guides, dynamic navigation, photogrammetry, CAD/CAM provisionalization, occlusal analytics, finite element analysis (FEA), AI-driven disease detection, tele dentistry, and economic factors. We stress useful protocols for reduced arches and complicated anatomies, talk about accuracy and soft-tissue stability levers, and explain how to govern ethical AI and data ecosystems that can work together. Artifacts and inconsistent reporting still make it hard to generalize, but strict workflows and validation can make digital periodontics a reliable, patient-centred way to get long-lasting implant results.},
