Sirona Implant software combines CEREC data with 3D x-ray data from GALILEOS.
Surgical and prosthetic implant planning go hand in hand to achieve a convincing result: Higher treatment quality and time-saving workflow.
Aesthetic risks or high costs due to individual abutments can be excluded or discussed with the patient beforehand. In the same manner, any possible jeopardization of the long-term stability due to asymmetrical stress can be recognized and prevented in the planning stage.
The dentist imports the virtual CEREC model and the restoration design to the 3D x-ray volume and can take all prosthetic consequences into consideration.
In addition, the gingival contour can be displayed exactly by the optical impression from CEREC. Based on this planning, an extremely precise and inexpensive drilling template can be ordered directly from the laboratory or directly from Sirona. Here’s an example of how these two technologies work together.
Case study
A young female patient presented after an early loss of tooth No. 30. Treatment began with a GALILEOS 3D scan of tooth 19, which was mirrored to 30 and designed with CEREC. The CEREC data was imported in Sirona Implant software to ensure optimal planning based on the surgical and prosthetic information. Surgery will use a drilling template from SICAT. Following is the workflow.

1. GALILEOS 3D scan with mandibular channel marked

2. Crown for No. 30 planned with CEREC

3. GALILEOS scan with imported CEREC restoration

4. Implant planning based on surgical and prosthetic information

5. 3D model with final implant plan |
