industry news _ Nobel Biocare I benefit from this predictable treatment option that helps to provide an optimised aesthetic and func- tional outcome. This means the templates can now be used for the All-on-4® treatment concept, help- ing the clinician to overcome challenges such as boneresorption,avoidcriticalanatomicalstructures and place implants deeper when treating edentu- lous patients. This is made possible by the sleeve-offset func- tion. It supports bone reduction and the deep place- ment of implants such as NobelParallel Conical Con- nection which are increasingly placed subcrestally. It also allows for the initial treatment plan to remain unchanged. _A seamless workflow for every case Every case is different. That is why NobelGuide offers a choice of treatment workflows—with and without the use of a radiographic guide. Since partially edentulous patients do not need aradiographicguide,thecliniciancansavetimewith one less patient visit. They can also take advantage of the in- tegrated treatment workflow. It connects Nobel Biocare's digital treatment planning software, 2G NobelProcera scanner, high-end production, guided implant surgery, Communicator iPad® app and OsseoCare Pro iPad®-operated drill unit to enable the treatment team to communicate, collaborate and perform with ease. Oncetheclinicianhasmarkedthecriticalanatom- icalstructuresusingtheNobelClinicianSoftwarethey collaborate with the lab technician to develop a pre- cise model scan. The clinician can then confidently develop a treatment plan thanks to NobelClinician’s SmartFusiontechnology,whichprovidesthepatient’s (CB)CT data together with the intra-oral situation, soft tissue information and diagnostic setup. At this point they can increase patient acceptance by using theCommunicatoriPad®apptoexplainthetreatment plantotheirpatient.Finally,theyhavethefreedomto choosebetweenguidedpilotdrillingandfullyguided implant insertion at any point during the workflow, using a custom-manufactured surgical template. For edentulous patients the workflow includes the radiographic guide with a double-scan protocol. Once the clinician has made a clinical diagnosis, they fabricate and clinically validate the diagnostic tooth setup, transforming it into a radiographic guide— theirprostheticreferenceduringtreatmentplanning. After making a (CB)CT scan of the patient and the radiographic guide, they define the implant position, orderacustom-manufacturedsurgicaltemplateand proceed with guided drilling and implant insertion. _A clinician’s guide to success From the initial diagnosis to the first guided drill, from partially edentulous to edentulous workflows, NobelGuide supports the clinician from beginning toend.Itisnowonderthattenyearssinceitslaunch NobelGuide has gone from strength to strength, improving treatment predictability and providing peace of mind to an ever-increasing number of clinicians._ Findoutmoreatnobelbiocare.com/nobelguide Fig. 3_In narrow spaces the guided pilot drill helps to ensure precise implant placement, thanks to NobelClinician’s safety margins and a warning system that helps the clinician avoid critical anatomical structures.
