153_2015 special _ digital technologies prosthetic kit. Another advantage of the In2Guide software is that you don’t have to segment the cone beam image or export it into third party soft- ware. The planning is done in the same software as where you do your diagnosis. In my opinion, this makes it easier to implement in the practice. Onenoteaboutguidesleeves.TheIn2Guidesoft- ware enables you to choose whatever guide sleeves you want to use. There is a huge difference between the distance from the coronal implant surface and the guide sleeve among the different guide systems (Figs. 3a-d). Care should be taken not to place the guide sleeves in contact with any hard or soft tissue. It is a great feature to be able to choose the system that fits your preferences. In order to make a tooth-retained guide, we make a cone beam image of the patient. (Note the required size of the field of view [FOV]. You need enough teeth and bone to make a guide.) A model of the soft tissue and high precision surface of the teeth is merged with the cone beam image in order to make a good fitting surgical guide. The model can be scanned by a lab- scanner or by the cone beam scanner. An option to make an intraoral scan is avail- able, but currently only for treatment planning. The intraoral model will be displayed as a green outline in the In2Guide software (Figs. 4a & b). Since we know the ideal distance from a bone level implant to the surface of the soft tissue is 3 mm, we place the chosen implant type (from the In2Guide library with almost all commercially available implants) and plan the positioning in the third dimension. Now we are able to measure the distance from the implant to the surface of the soft tissue. Hereby we can achieve an ideal emer- gence profile. We can measure the distance from the implant to the top of the guide sleeve to verify correct depth of the implant during surgery. Fig. 3c Fig. 3d
