GUIDED SURGERY – EasyGuide is OVERMED Guided surgery
Overmed guided surgery follows the entire surgical process, from the realization of the radiological template to the consultancy for case planning till the milling guided template that will be delivered to the clinician.
- The smaller size makes it easier the insertion into the mouth with less discomfort for the patient
- The holes do not need the addition of metal bushings because the Peek is self-lubricating and allows excellent sliding of the cutter / handle
- The milling ensures a unique precision that is faithful to the original .stl file.
The fixing system for the radiological template with EasyPin, studied by Overmed, let the subsequent positioning of the surgical template unique.
Let see in detail the different phases:
Fixing radiological template
Fastening pin
EasyPin is the fastening pin used to support the radiological template and the surgical guide. They are self-tapping semi-implantable screws, made in titanium grade 4, coupled to dedicated cover screws. They should be inserted, after light anesthesia, before the impression taking and they remain in seat till the surgical operation has been completed. Being stable into the bone, the pins allow an optimal guides repositioning even in time and in case of soft tissue remodeling.
Radiological template
It is fixed in the patient’s mouth according to his clinical condition by EasyPin, semi-implantable fastening pins designed by OVERMED to fix in an univocal position the reference points, essential for a correct planning and a precise surgical guide repositioning.. Overmed standard radiological template has five radiopaque landmarks, in order to correctly define and recreate the dental arch position. The standard arch can be modified, however, to fit properly in the mouth of partially edentulous people or people equipped with removable prosthesis, for an ideal positioning during the examination even if the CT Scan is executed elsewhere from the doctor’s surgery where the patient is in care.

Alternative fixing
In alternative, it is always possible to perform the guided surgery by fixing the radiological template with traditional methods: using resin for total edentulism or stable support on teeth for partial edentulism. In this case, however, a possible soft tissues remodeling could cause a non-optimal positioning of the surgical guide during the surgical operation
Clinical case planning
OVERMED offers to dentists, the experience of professionals who have long worked in guided surgery, and who are able, for this, to plan CAD clinical cases on the basis of informations provided to them by the same dentist (number and position of the implants in the dental arch to be restored, diameter and lenght of the implants to insert, prosthetic solution to be realized). The doctor, after the approval of the case planned by Overmed specialists, could therefore perform a guided surgery with no need to buy the software, maximizing times and costs.
Fixing of the surgical guide
Surgical guide
The surgical guide is designed according to implants position and inclination. Overmed surgical guide, virtually created with CAD software, is machined with the sleeves directly integrated at the correct height and position for the chosen implant diameter and lenght.
The innovatice fixing technique, based on semi-implantable pins EasyPin, ensures optimal repositioning during the entire surgery, leaving to dentist the maximum maneuvering possibilities with minimal disturbance.
The surgical guide is fixed with dedicated screws to the semi-implantable fastening pins, guaranteeing stability during the surgical procedure and a precise repositioning for an even more reliable surgery. The pins can be inserted in vestibular, palatal or lingual zone, using the free bone portions. This solution represents an efficient innovation especially for complete edentulous cases, solving problems related to soft tissue remodeling and the absence of refereces in the placement of surgical template during surgery.
