The Guided Sequence

All guided case must start with restorative diagnostics, without diagnostics there is no data to design the surgical guide.  Below are the sequence of steps to follow:

Protocol

• Laboratory to receive pre‐op models/scans or impressions, from the general dentist.

• From the models, impressions or scans, diagnostics designs will be completed according to the dentists prescribe restorative

• Screenshots will be sent to the general dentist for discussion and approval.

• Once diagnostics are completed and approved, scan files will be created.  

• Final files will include STL's of the upper and lower, with and without diagnostics, and dicom files.

• All files will be uploaded to an Imaging Center. 

• A Zoom review will be scheduled with the dentist and surgeon. 

• After review, and implant placement completed, an STL file will be received from the imaging center.

• RDL will print the guide and place the appropriate sleeves.

• The 3D model with guide and the surgical report will be sent to the surgeon. 

Times

• Allow (5‐7) days for diagnostics and screenshots. 

• (2‐4) days for scheduled review. 

• Following approval of the review allow (3‐5) days for delivery of all needed materials.

• Note: Times do not include patient scheduling/delays etc.
