3D Printing Dental Surgical Guides

Receive all the clinical benefits of guided surgery with rapid turnaround times and minimal material cost by printing guides in-office. Using 3rd party CAD/CAM treatment-planning software and SprintRay Pro, doctors can design and print guides in a little as 30 minutes, responding quickly to patient needs. 

Surgical drill sleeves can be inserted immediately post-print for increased precision. SprintRay Surgical Guide material can be sterilized using standard autoclave protocols without affecting dimensional accuracy.

Full-arch surgical guides are ideal for multi-site, single/dual arch, tooth, bone and mucosa supported guide creation for the clinical placement of dental implants. 

Quadrant surgical guides are ideal for single-site, single-arch, tooth-supported guide creation for the clinical placement of dental implants. 

Dr. August de Oliveira is a leading voice in the digital dentistry movement. A long-time advocate of 3D printing in the dental office, he leverages the technology to reduce costs and increase delivery speed for multiple therapies. In this Practice Insights, learn Dr. de Oliveria's story, from his early 3D printing days till now. He shares his tips for what to look out for when purchasing a 3D printer, as well as an overview of how 3D printing has impacted his practice.

Using intraoral scan and CBCT data, you can use 3rd-party software to design and produce implant surgical guides in-office using SprintRay 3D printers. Once the surgical guide is printed, it needs to be washed and post-processed before use. Place guide sleeves into the printed part and sterilize in an autoclave.

You can use any scanner type you’d like with SprintRay Software. We accept any .STL formatted scan data. This list of scanners shows many options that our customers often use, but it is not an exclusive list.

SprintRay Software allows you to choose a dental design software that meets your clinical needs. This list shows our recommended options, but our software accepts any design file formatted in .STL, which means you can use whatever you’re most comfortable with.

SprintRay 3D printers have a accuracy across a full arch within ±100 microns over 93 percent of the surfaces, when printed at 50 micron layer thickness.

Our large selection of dental printing materials are designed to get the most out of SprintRay 3D printers. Developed and tested for market-leading performance, SprintRay resins are built to achieve equivalent or superior results while providing better value for money. 

To take full advantage of guided implant surgery, it’s important to have a guide that resists fracture and distortion. SprintRay’s Surgical Guide 2 has higher flexural strength and flexural modulus than competing brands, plus comparably low viscosity for easy mixing.

Resin designed for the production of all kinds of dental models. Outstanding accuracy and high strength make Model Grey a great choice for the fabrication of orthodontic and restorative models. SprintRay Model resins are easy to work with, producing predictable and consistent results.

Resin designed for the production of all kinds of dental models. Outstanding accuracy and high strength make Model Yellow a great choice for the fabrication of orthodontic and restorative models. SprintRay Model resins are easy to work with, producing predictable and consistent results.
