| Master model fabrication | |
| Process The master model represents the patient situation and is the basis for the production of the scan and surgical template. |
| Scan template fabrication | |
 | Process The scan template contains information about the desired prosthetic outcome in form of radiopaque teeth (visible in CT/DVT scan). The scan template has to be connected to the templiX plate containing three reference pins with the gonyX in order to ensure the link between digital implant planning and surgical template. fabrication |
 | Product More information: gonyX lab manual (Art. No. 019.0237). |
| CT/DVT Scanning | |
 | Process The patient is scanned wearing the scan template with a commercially available 3D CT/DVT scanner. |
 | Product The scanning process can be carried out with most commercially available CT and DVT devices that provide imaging information according to the widely accepted DICOM standard. More information: coDiagnostiX manual (Art. No. 019.0236). See also documentation from the CT/DVT device manufacturer. |
| Diagnostics & 3D implant planning | |
 | Process The user can import the 3D data set (DICOM) directly into the Straumann® planning software coDiagnostiX. The implant is positioned with respect to the patient’s anatomy and the desired prosthetic outcome. After completion of the implant planning, the software provides the plan for surgical template production with the gonyX and the surgical plan for the Straumann® Guided Surgery kit. |

| Surgical template fabrication | |
 | Process The surgical template is produced with the Straumann® gonyX according to the template plan that is provided by coDiagnostiX for each implant. The surgical template contains the surgical sleeves that guide the surgical instruments and the implant. There is no need to produce a new template. If desired, the scan template can be reworked into the surgical template. |
| Product More information: gonyX lab manual (Art. No. 019.0237). |
| Guided Surgery and implant insertion | |
 | Process After fixing the surgical template in the patient’s mouth, the implant bed can be prepared with the guided instruments and followed by the guided implant insertion. The surgical protocol provided by the planning software indicates which instruments are required to prepare each implant site. |
