12 Jun 2008 - Materialise Dental Launches SimPlant 12: Next Innovation SurgiGuide Preview, FastTrack Planning and Interactive 3D SuperView Enhance Communication and Speed in 3D Digital Dentistry


SimPlant 12 provides clinicians with more autonomy regarding their patient’s SurgiGuide design and allows them to create exact SurgiGuide drill guides through FastTrack planning. This results in accelerated manufacturing time. Additionally, the 3D SuperView module allows enhanced treatment plan communication. Materialise Dental’s SimPlant technology consists of a suite of comprehensive, patented products that are compatible with all brands and equipment that clinicians use. With SimPlant 12, Materialise Dental continues to set the standards in 3D Digital Dentistry.

Customization of Patient SurgiGuide Design through Next Innovation SurgiGuide Drill Guide Preview

The SimPlant 12 Next Innovation SurgiGuide drill guide tool provides clinicians with a preview of what their patient’s SurgiGuide will look like when it is eventually manufactured. Based on the Next Innovation SurgiGuide drill guide preview, clinicians can add specific remarks in order to customize the SurgiGuide according to their preferences. As clinician feedback is provided immediately, communication between clinician and manufacturer is improved.

Faster Delivery through FastTrack SurgiGuide Planning

Having the ability to enjoy shorter delivery times on the SurgiGuide drill guide is an advantage that comes in handy in more cases than one can anticipate. Today, clinicians can request FastTrack certified planning files from their certified processing partner. FastTrack SurgiGuide planning allows clinicians to adapt their patient’s SurgiGuide size and dimensions according to their preferences and to receive the exact SurgiGuide they created.

SuperView: Sending Referrals Accurate and User-friendly (CB)CT Datasets with 3D Models

With the enhanced SimPlant SuperView module, Materialise Dental provides a free interactive 3D viewer, allowing enhanced treatment plan communication between dental laboratories, referring clinicians and patients. SimPlant SuperView allows clinicians to send their entire (CB)CT dataset with multiple 3D models and possible reorientation to their referrals, making a new scan – in case the (CB)CT dataset was not aligned – superfluous. Consequently, this allows referrals to set a more accurate diagnosis through the SimPlant View freeware. Features of the SimPlant SuperView module aim at improving user friendliness by offering one-click navigation and measurements in 2D and 3D. Additionally, the SimPlant SuperView module offers clinicians the opportunity to share case experiences and to inform patients more accurately.
