Guided Implants - Nobel Biocare Solution

CAD/CAM Bioengineering Science and Precision Dentistry

Nobel Guide Dental Implant Placement Birmingham Mobile Alabama AL NobelGuides were created through the scientific efforts of biomedical engineers to assist reconstructive dentists in providing the best prediction factor for implant success for practically all types of tooth replacement needs.

The major benefit to the patient is the incredible accuracy of implant placement compared to "freehand" implant placement, which is often suitable for a single implant with adjacent teeth available to aid in the required positioning of the implant.

The freehand or non-guided surgical method however becomes immediately unpredictable when there is extensive bone loss.

The NobelGuide system, was developed in response to the need for the best accuracy possible. Computerized analysis of digitized imagery led to a fabrication method for creating implant drilling guides, thereby virtually removing the concern of innacurate drilling.

Another benefit is that wider and/or longer implants can be placed with out risking vital structures. When bone conditions permit... depending upon the location of the implant site, using larger sizes of the implant device increases the integrity and long term strength.

Teeth In An HourTM

The incredible precision of the computer guided surgery template (NobelGuide) now allows a procedure called "teeth-in-an-hour" TM . The teeth-in-an-hour procedure is exclusively for patients with no teeth. The patient must be able to open his/her mouth a certain amount, be healthy and have a certain amount of bone. When these requirements are met, the patient may select this amazing option.

CatScan Imaging versus advanced Cone Beam 3-D Imaging

A variety of CatScan devices have been used with good success. In our office we have elected to use specialized cone beam devices that have accuracy levels and reduced exposure to radiation that far exceed common Cat Scan technology.

The Galileos (by Sirona) cone beam device and the I-Cat cone beam system have been developed to create the 3-D imaging accuracy wanted by dentists who are significantly involved in implantology.

There are no known 3-D imaging resources that exceed the Galileos or I-Cat scanning technologies. For our patients, Dr. Sanderson uses the I-Cat imaging equipment and software to create diagnostic images and data that enables implant placements with unsurpassed precision.

Dr. Holt Gray
Assessment errors that are frequently commonplace with mechanical or outdated CatScan measurements no longer occur. Healthy bone tissue with substantial mass are located almost effortlessly, thereby assuring the highest level of implant success imagineable.

In situations where Bone Grafting is required, the 3D images enable Dr. Sanderson to select the healthiest of existing tissue and combine grafting procedures with any number of grafting materials to recreate healthy bone tissue with depth and mass that is the foundation for long term implant endurance.

Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Kevin Sims use the I-Cat scanning equipment to create the 3 Dimensional imaging slices enabling the implant team to select and prepare the healthiest bone mass for implant site preparation.

Based on the CT-scan, the implants are placed virtually on the computer. A drilling guide is designed and emailed to Sweden where it is fabricated. It is then returned to the doctor. A model is made with the exact location of the future implants.

Dr. Kevin Sims
The model is returned by the doctor to Sweden to have a custom titanium framework which is milled on a CAD/CAM machine out of a hockey puck size piece of titanium. The tolerance is within 200 microns! It is then returned back to the dentist. The final teeth are added and surgery is scheduled.

On the day of surgery the template is placed on the patient's jaw structure. The implants are then placed through the guide and on to the titanium framework. The NobelGuide is removed when all implants are placed. The whole process takes about an hour (Thus teeth in an hour).

The strength comes from a unique surface coating on the implant, cross arch stabilization, and abutments with 500 microns of adjustment (critical). This preparation takes 8-10 weeks.

Conventionally, these complex implant placements for a single patient would typically involve multiple surgeries and many prosthetic appointments spanning over a year.

There are many other uses of the NobelGuide. Use of this system consistently assures our patients of utmost precision, predictability and speed of implant procedures.
