Masterclass for 3D Printing in the Dental Practice
Learn how to fabricate a guide that will allow you to accurately place an implant in 10 minutes using this fully guided technique to drill every step and even place the implant through the guide. This technique can be used with any implant system. Use your current implant system.
Dr. Rick Ferguson will tell you where to acquire the free software and then teach you the technique to make the guide. Also learn how to produce accurate surgical models to practice surgical procedures or for patient education.
