Is this for me?
This PDF is for dental professionals involved in implant dentistry, such as surgeons, lab techs, practice managers, and educators exploring digital/3D printing tech for surgical guide fabrication and guided implant surgery.
But I can just send it to a lab...
While sending surgical guides to an external dental lab is an option, having an in-clinic 3D printing system offers several advantages:
- Greater control over the entire process, from design to manufacturing
- Faster turnaround times
- Ability to make adjustments or reprints on-site if needed
- Potential cost savings by reducing lab fees over time
- Convenience for same-day dentistry patients
Knowing the workflows unlocks the ability to implement these techniques to your practice and increase your efficiency - which leads to treating more patients, having more precise outcomes and feeling confident in your implantology.
Why do I need it?
Having this comprehensive PDF handbook allows you to optimize digital dental surgical guide production and leverage the precision and efficiency gains of guided implant surgeries.
