CEREC Guide 3
Using CEREC Guide 3 with Dentsply Sirona implants, you can work with the security of a precise “fully guided” procedure. This means all surgical steps, from soft-tissue punch to implant insertion, are performed with the guide in place.
The "Sleeve-on-Drill” system by Dentsply Sirona Implants replaces the drill keys otherwise used in guided surgery. The pre-mounted guiding sleeves save you an assisting hand and ensure the precise transfer of the planned implant procedure to the real surgery.
No freehand surgery can match this accuracy.
The benefits of the CEREC Guide 3 surgical guide:
- Fully-guided implant placement for the highest degree of clinical safety
- Most commonly used implant sizes and lengths are covered
- Fastest inhouse production at very low cost
CEREC Guide 3 is compatible with:
- Ankylos
- Astra Tech Implant System EV
- Xive

CEREC Guide 2
CEREC Guide 2 is a further development of the CEREC Guide product. This is a surgical guide that supports the dentist while drilling by specifying direction and drilling depth in accordance with the implant plan. CEREC Guide 2 is milled from one piece of PMMA acrylic. Both conventional impressions and model production, as well as preparing radiographic templates with reference bodies become unnecessary. The entire manufacturing sequence is fully digital. CEREC Guide 2 is used with the already familiar CEREC Guide drill keys.
Workflow
CEREC Guide 2 is created in essentially three phases, which can be run separately from each other in time and space.
Phase 1: Optical impression
An optical impression of the oral situation is taken. A restoration is designed that makes implant planning possible taking into account prosthetic aspects. This information is exported as an *.SSI file (OPEN GALILEOS Implant license required).
Phase 2: Implant planning
A 3D X-ray scan is taken with a Sirona X-ray unit. No X-ray reference body is required (in contrast to CEREC Guide 1). The optical data is superimposed on the 3D X-ray data. Like CEREC Guide 1, implant planning is carried out based on the D2 value (drill lengths). To create a CEREC Guide 2, a CEREC sleeve (S, M or L) must be selected (GALILEOS Implant 1.9.2 required). This corresponds to the CEREC guide drill to be used. The planning information is created as a *.DXD file.
Phase 3: Designing and milling the surgical guide
The *.DXD planning file is imported into CEREC SW 4.4 (OPEN GALILEOS Implant license required). The shape of the guide can be customized and milled on a CEREC MC X or CEREC MC XL Premium Package (devices must be capable of milling).
