SICAT Surgical Guides are custom-made for the respective patient and guide your drill to the planned positions in the patient's jaw with the aid of guide sleeves. OPTIGUIDEs are fabricated directly in the SICAT laboratory on the basis of optical surface scan data and 3D X-ray data. Radiographic templates do not need to be used with OPTIGUIDE. OPTIGUIDEs are available teeth supported. The sleeve systems available are pilot sleeves, a generic sleeve-in-sleeve system, and master sleeves for guided surgical systems. These guided surgical systems generally offer a complete procedure, from the initial osteotomy all the way to implant insertion. Visit the SICAT website for supported manufacturers.
