Overview
- Dentist experience weighs heavily on the traditional full-mouth implant procedure. Radiographs often serve as the basis for “imagining” how jaw nerves and blood vessels are actually distributed therein. Presurgical planning thus tends to be done on a trial and error basis.
- Draw from digital technology to make customized molds and dental surgical guides for oral and maxillofacial, plastic surgery, and dental applications.
- Provide customized devices to enhance the quality of dental and oral/maxillofacial surgery.
