Step 1 : Diagnosis and treatment planning

It all starts with a patient coming in, looking for beautiful new smile. You will make a first diagnosis. Both the diagnosis and the patient's specific requests influence the type of treatment to be chosen. Informing your patient why you should use SurgiGuide or SAFE System is an important step for a good communication with the patient.


Step 2 : Preparing the scan

In collaboration with your dental laboratory, a scan prosthesis can be prepared. What scan prosthesis you want to take into account during your treatment plan. You can send the protocol together with the plaster cast to your dental lab to get an optimal scan prosthesis.


Step 3 : Taking the 3D scan

To get all vital information from the patient's anatomy a CT scan or Cone beam scan is necessary. Before sending the patient to a scanning site, he/she should be informed on how to wear the scan prosthesis during the scan. Only 1 scan is needed to capture all the information on the patient's anatomy and th scan prosthesis. A CT scan or Cone beam scan with the right parameters is fundamental for a good planning. The SimPlant Platform is compatible with all scanner types and formats.
