Planmeca and Materialise Dental have formed a joint effort that will allow Planmeca ProMax 3D users to order Materialise Dental SurgiGuide drill guides directly from Planmeca Romexis software.
This will enable Planmeca's cone beam users to transfer their implant planning from the Planmeca Romexis software to the patient's mouth using the SurgiGuide drill guides, according to the companies.
Various implants can be planned in Planmeca Romexis, the companies noted. This information is sent, together with the DICOM images, to Materialise Dental as a SurgiGuide order. Materialise Dental then imports the data in the SimPlant software and contacts the customer to verify and discuss the planning. After production, the customer receives the SurgiGuide, ready for use in surgery.
