MILAN, Italy: Navigated photogrammetry opens the door to a new dimension of prosthetic design for full-arch implant-borne restorations. On show at Nobel Biocare’s booth at the 2024 annual scientific meeting of the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO) is the new FastMap navigated photogrammetry system, which offers enhanced capabilities in precise measurement and maintenance of implant positions for full-arch restorations.
Employing dedicated software and scan bodies, FastMap allows dental professionals to measure and maintain the true position of implants and abutments relative to the preoperative prosthetic plan and the patient’s anatomy. This relationship is preserved during navigated procedures through the use of a patient tracker, which is registered preoperatively to ensure alignment throughout the procedure. In contrast to this capability, basic photogrammetry and physical conversions create a continuity gap, disrupting this crucial relationship.
FastMap enables the tracking of scan body locations while capturing platform-to-platform positions. It allows for the creation of a conversion-free, passive-fit CAD/CAM-produced provisional restoration that can be placed directly on to abutments. The scan bodies are interchangeable at any implant or abutment location with the same connection interface, and there is no need to correlate a scan body identifier to a specific implant or abutment location within the software. FastMap works with all Nobel Biocare multi-unit abutments as well as a variety of abutments from other manufacturers, including Astra Tech MultiBase EV abutments, Neodent GM Mini abutments, BioHorizon multi-unit abutments and BIOMET 3i Low Profile abutments.
The system works with three or more scan bodies per jaw, providing flexibility for various clinical scenarios. If one of the scan bodies is damaged, FastMap allows dental professionals to easily replace it with a single new scan body without affecting other scan bodies.
With X-Guide dynamic navigation, a single device is used for both implant placement and photogrammetry, and no additional scanner hardware is required for surgery. The scanning device is conveniently suspended above the patient, eliminating the need for a handheld device during data capture.
FastMap integrates with established workflows of major CAD/CAM software solutions, allowing dental professionals to work with a variety of service providers and laboratories. It has an open workflow and is compatible with various 3D printers and milling devices, offering export options in STL and PLY format, which can be used with the most common prosthetic design software, including exocad.
To discover the benefits of X-Guide dynamic navigation with FastMap, see Nobel Biocare’s website and visit the company’s booth (F31) at the EAO meeting.
