Course Description
This course is designed to provide participants with the necessary information and knowledge to successfully integrate guided implant planning and surgery into their practices. It will provide an in-depth introduction to the required skills needed to perform an accurate implant placement using the Nobel Biocare DTX studio implant software.
Participants should be able to implement the course information, and the current available technologies, to perform guided surgery in their practices, if desired.
CREDIT HOURS
8 Lecture hours (per session)
4 Participation hours (per session)
Advantages of this Course:
- Each participant will be provided with a computer with the DTX implant software to diagnose, plan, and create stereolithographic guides for straightforward implants using the DTX studio implant software.
- Limited to only 10 participants. Interactive learning between all practitioners and instructors with questions and discussions of different cases.

- Differentiate between straight-forward cases and more complex ones.
- Learn the diagnostic advantages of CBCT in combination with the DTX studio implant software. Necessary anatomy to consider when performing guided surgery.
- Recognize the indications for computer-guided implant surgery, and the contraindications.
- “Virtually” place implants and get familiarize with the DTX studio implant software
- Learn how to integrate, “fuse”, models and prosthetic wax-ups with CBCT dicom data sets.
- Order CBCT derived stereolithographic guides for edentulous and partially edentulous cases.
- Learn to implement the clinical steps required to execute precise implant placement using stereolithographic guides. NobelGuide workflow.
Hands-On Exercises
- In-depth use of the DTX studio implant software, each participant will perform and create STL guides ready for printing of two “virtual surgeries”, an edentulous and a partially edentulous case.
- Guided dental implant placements using stereolithographic guides on models.
- CT scan and Intraoral scanner demonstrations.
