Materialise Dental is partnering with Zimmer Dental and together they have developed an integrated guided implant surgery system that is now commercially available.
"We can now offer our customers the possibility to plan their surgeries with SimPlant dental implant treatment planning software, and accurately meet their patients' implant needs with Zimmer Guided Surgery Instrumentation and the compatible Materialise Dental SAFE SurgiGuide solution," said Harold C. Flynn Jr., president of Zimmer Dental, in a press release.
The Zimmer Guided Surgery Instrumentation is used in conjunction with the Tapered Screw-Vent Surgical Kit. It accommodates both traditional and guided surgery procedures, and allows for depth control, drill orientation, and enhanced positional and angulation control.
The Materialise Dental SAFE SurgiGuide is used with a brand-specific guided surgery kit to provide drill guidance, guided implant placement, and depth control.
