Via the GALILEOS / SICAT / CEREC and Cerec Guide 2 workflows it is possible to avoid the need for a scanning guide all-together. Scanning without the need for a scanning guide is accomplished in the OptiGuide and DIGITALGUIDE workflows, by adding the teeth in digitally in the planning phase. This is accomplished by using CEREC design software to add in the proposed addition of teeth that will be supported by the implants. In this process scan your patient with a Sirona 3D system and record the optical surface data. A radiographic template or other reference bodies are not necessary. (Figure 6)
