Instrumentation Overview

The BIOMET 3i Navigator™ System For CT Guided Surgery was developed in response to clinicians’ growing interest in dental implant placement utilizing the benefits of Computed Tomography (CT) and the desire to accelerate patient provisionalization.

The Navigator System is open architecture. The system is used in conjunction with the leading planning software and case-specific surgical guides to enhance treatment planning and improve the accuracy of placing BIOMET 3i Implants.

CT guidance technology allows clinicians to determine more precisely the locations of anatomical structures and the dimensions of underlying bone as well as to ascertain bone densities in order to plan and perform cases. Use of CT scans allows procedures to be less invasive than traditional surgery. The necessary planning and added instrument precision can shorten chair time for full-arch, single-tooth and short-span implant cases, allowing for more efficient procedures.

The Navigator System can be used to fabricate a provisional prosthesis prior to implant placement by creating a master cast using the surgical guide.

The system allows clinicians to place dental implants in predetermined locations with proper hex orientation. This feature is especially beneficial for single tooth and cement retained provisionals. It offers clinicians the option to deliver a provisional prosthesis the day of surgery and the opportunity to perform bone, teeth and tissue supported (flapless) surgery.

BIOMET 3i’s Navigator System For CT Guided Surgery includes the Navigator Surgical Kit and the Navigator Laboratory Kit and makes it possible for clinicians to restore and place Certain® Parallel-Walled MicroMiniplant™ 4 & 5mm Implants, OSSEOTITE XP® 4/5mm Implants, PREVAIL® 3/4/3, 4/5/4 and straight PREVAIL 4/3 and 5/4mm Implants. With this design, BIOMET 3i is able to support the majority of clinical situations and compliment the use of a wide range of prosthetic options.

A 2mm Fixation System (31-3100) is available through BIOMET Microfixation. To order this Fixation System, please contact BIOMET Microfixation at 1-800-874-7711.
