Drill Guides created using our Stereolithography (SLA®) systems combines optical and medical scanned data to first create a virtual image of a patient’s jaw. A specialized software program allows the surgeon to insert and manipulate implants via the screen. The final digital file is used to create a drill guide that guides the drill during dental implant surgery to ensure exact placement.
Because of the pre-planning, the surgeon also reduces risk and patient discomfort by making an incision to expose the bone and to insert the drill and implants. Instead, a minimal hole can be punched through the gum in order to position the implants accurately.
SLA working models are extremely accurate and reduce the model-making process time, resulting in less need for skilled labor and significant cost savings.
