IntroductionThis case study is presented using the prescribed guided system NobelGuide.Figure #1Radiographic Guide/Radiographic Index: This appliance sets the standard for the entire case. It is utilized during the patient's CT scan. It shows the proper tooth position during the virtual planning and is the basis for the fabrication of the Surgical Guide. The Radiographic Index (Bite Registration) holds the Radiographic Guide in place during the patient's scan. -
Figure #2Digital Plan (includes DICOM conversion): Send us the DICOM files with your digital Rx and we will plan the case based on your prescription. We can also review your plan if you have NobelGuide™ software. -

Figure #5Master Model Fabrication (from Surgical Template): The master cast can be fabricated utilizing the Surgical Template. You have your final model, without having to take impressions, before the implants have been placed! The master cast can be used to fabricate your temporary or definitive prosthesis. Otherwise, standard implant impressions can be taken and the prosthesis fabricated at a later date. -
