Surgical guides

Surgical Guides

High resolution 3D printing allows for precisely targeted placement of implants during surgery. Drill sleeves may be inserted directly after printing, with excellent fit. The material is resistant to disinfectants and can be sterilised using gamma rays and autoclave without affecting dimensional stability.

The cost of high quality drill guides can be dramatically lower when produced using an EnvisionTEC 3D printer in comparison to previous machining methods, making EnvisionTEC the clear choice for any digital dental laboratory.

Full-Arch Surgical Guides – perfect for multi-site, single/dual arch, tooth, bone and mucosa supported.

Quadrant Surgical Guides – perfect for single-site, single-arch, tooth-supported.
