3D Printing Surgical Guides for Dental Implant Workflows

Course Lecturer: Dr. Steven Vorholt

This course demonstrates how to design surgical guides for dental implant workflows. Dr. Vorholt explains how to merge a 3D x-ray (CBCT) with intraoral scans (3D models of patients' teeth) to create guides for precise dental implant placement. With SprintRay 3D printers, dentists can fabricate surgical guides in-house, ensuring highly accurate placement and efficient workflows.
