What are surgical guides and how are they made
Surgical guides are custom-made digital devices that facilitate the precise positioning of dental implants during surgeries. They are created through a complex process involving digital scanning, 3D planning, and additive or subtractive manufacturing, ensuring safety, predictability, and comfort for both the patient and the doctor.
Steps to create a surgical guide
Intraoral scan and CBCT
Digital scanning of the dental arch and computed tomography are performed to obtain precise data.
Data alignment
Scan data and CBCT are superimposed for an exact 3D representation of the intervention area.
Digital planning
The optimal position of the implants is established and the surgical guide is designed in specialized CAD software.
Guide manufacturing
The guide is 3D printed from biocompatible materials or milled, according to the approved design.
Sleeve mounting and verification
Metal sleeves are mounted and the guide is verified on the model for precision and functionality.
Sterilization and delivery
The guide is sterilized according to standards and prepared for use in the surgical intervention.
