SurgiGuide® - Now offering new standards of care for every implant case
Every implant case asks for a tailored approach.
Discover how Dr. Davarpanah/ Dr. Szmukler-Moncler, Dr. de Jonge and Dr. Knoernschild have used SAFE, Universal and Pilot SurgiGuide® for their patient’s implant treatment – a special summary of three implant cases.
SAFE SurgiGuide® clinical case - Dr. Davarpanah and Dr. Szmukler-Moncler
SAFE SurgiGuide®, compatible with a variety of brand-specific guided surgery kits, is generally considered to be the best solution for all implant cases. It provides drill guidance, guided implant placement and full depth control. Even an Immediate Smile® is in reach with SAFE SurgiGuide®.

Many thanks to Dr. S. Molloy for producing the prosthesis.
Universal SurgiGuide® clinical case - Dr. Knoernschild
Universal SurgiGuide® can be used with any standard implant surgery kit. Ideal, if you work with various implant brands or if your implant company does not offer a guided surgery kit. A compact set of Drill Keys ensures an accurate yet flexible guidance of the whole drilling sequence.

Thanks extended to Dr. Matthew Hallas for his contribution in completion and documentation of therapy.
Pilot SurgiGuide® clinical case - Dr. de Jonge
Pilot SurgiGuide® is a cost-efficient solution for implant treatment cases where accurate guidance of the first drilling step is sufficient. It is available in a wide range of pilot drill diameters.

SurgiGuide® ensures accurate and predictable surgery and provides the seamless link between your SimPlant® 3D treatment plan and actual treatment. Reduced surgery time, increased case success rates and esthetic perfection thanks to prosthetic driven planning and surgery are just a few benefits of guided implant placement.
