3.
The clinician plans the case within the planning software
and the case plan is sent to the surgical guide manufacturer.
Fixation of the guide can also be planned at this time.
a.
The software company may act as the surgical guide
manufacturer or
b.
A laboratory may create the surgical guide.
4.
The surgical guide manufacturer develops a case-specific
surgical plan and surgical guide.

The surgical plan and surgical guide are sent to the dental
laboratory or restorative doctor and used in conjunction
with the
Parallel Walled Navigator
Laboratory Kit (if no immediate provisional is desired,
go to step 8).
6.
The master cast is poured into the guide or the implant
analogs are placed in the preoperative cast on a partially
edentulous case using the guide.
7.
The abutments are selected and the provisional prosthesis
is fabricated and sent to the clinician.
8.
The surgical guide and surgical plan are sent to the
surgeon and used in conjunction with the Parallel Walled
Navigator Surgical Kit.
9.
The surgical guide is placed and may be fixated with 2mm
fixation screws.
10.
The clinician will prepare the site(s) with the case-specific
surgical plan and surgical guide for implant placement with
the BIOMET
3i
Parallel Walled Navigator Surgical Kit.

The implants are placed through the surgical guide.
12.
The Implant Mounts and surgical guide are removed.
13.
If a traditional procedure is desired, a one or two-stage
