How do you pick a surgical guide for your dental implantology procedures? Several companies offer more or less the same product, a fact which leaves many dentists scratching their heads at the options available. We can help. Determining which surgical guide to choose is about more than just price comparisons; you also want to work […]
Read MoreThere was a time when the only way to transmit goods was via boat, plane, rail or truck. That time was just a few years ago, yet we continue to live within its rules and boundaries. But ever so slowly, something began to shift a few years ago when 3D printing hit the mainstream. For […]
Read MoreWe’ve written some posts where we focus on our stock in trade – 3D printed surgical guides for dental implants – and others where we take a step back to survey the state of the technology generally. This week we became aware of yet another story of victorious technology in the realm of medical applications. […]
Read MoreWe work at the cutting edge of a relatively new field, which means we get a lot of questions from dental professionals about our manufacturing, materials, software, and workflow. That’s why we have created this page, which goes into considerable depth about some of the most common questions in surgical guide technology, including popular queries […]
Read MoreAt Scan Implant Guide, we believe 3D printed guides are the future of dental implant surgery. These simple, individualized guides remove almost all of the error inherent in the surgical flowspace, giving dental professionals far better accuracy on the day of the procedure. The pain point in working with guides such as these has typically […]
Read MoreIt is a paradox at the center of 3D printing: although the printing itself is fast, the preparation, which can includes detailed scans and software tweaks, may slow the process inexorably. That’s all changing as production of surgical guides begins to benefit from powerful computing and more rapid prototyping. As the software continues to iterate, […]
Read MoreAn Scan Implant Guide, we take pride in a software protocol that streamlines the many small details of this process and returns a sense of control to the end user. But those details remain profoundly important, which is why it’s nice to look at some of the precision choices that go into operating with a […]
Read MoreEveryone is different. That is the one painfully obvious fact that undermines a great deal of medical care in this nation without ever quite rising to the level of consciousness. Procedures that work flawlessly on some patients can fail others, and often doctors cannot predict why with any success. 3D printing upsets this paradigm in […]
Read MoreSurgical guides make dental implant placement far easier than any other technology. That’s because these custom-crafted, digitally rendered, bespoke items serve each individual patient’s anatomy and needs. There’s no better way to ensure precision with every procedure. Our 3D printed surgical guides are built using cone beam CT scanning technology, and perfected in the digital […]
Read MoreDental surgical guides are widely renowned for their ease of use. Because everything is flawlessly contoured and drilled to provide “paint by numbers” dental surgery, these guides are a tremendous boon to dental surgeons who want to avoid errors. But the applications of these clever devices go beyond dental implantology. Recently a slightly different set […]
