Ultra-Fast, Biocompatible Precision for Guided Surgery
Surgical Guide Resin is an autoclave-stable, Class I biocompatible material developed for dental applications including implant guides, drilling templates, and pilot drill guides. With its high strength and resistance to flexure, it ensures that surgical bushings remain perfectly aligned during procedures. Optimized for the Form 4B, it delivers industry-leading accuracy and the fastest print speeds available in the Formlabs dental ecosystem.
Key Features
-
Validated Biocompatibility: Certified Class I biocompatible (ISO 10993) for transient mucosal membrane contact, ensuring patient safety during guided procedures.
-
Autoclave Stable: Engineered to withstand standard steam sterilization cycles without losing dimensional accuracy or mechanical integrity.
-
High Rigidity & Strength: Minimizes deflection during drilling, ensuring the implant is placed exactly as planned in the surgical software.
-
Optimal Transparency: The clear, translucent finish provides essential visibility of the underlying anatomy and cooling irrigation during the osteotomy.
Ideal Applications
-
Implant Surgical Guides: Single or multi-unit guides with integrated metal bushings.
-
Pilot Drill Guides: Initial osteotomy templates for precise entry points.
-
Drilling Templates: Rigid guides for complex restorative or orthodontic surgeries.
-
Device Sizing Templates: Intraoral trial components for surgical planning.
FAQ
How Many Guides Can I Print in a Single Batch?
On the Form 4B's large build area, you can typically fit 8 to 12 full-arch surgical guides in a single print, all completed in approximately 20 minutes.
Does it Require Specific Surgical Sleeves?
Surgical Guide Resin is designed to be compatible with most standard metal surgical bushings and sleeves. We recommend checking with your implant system provider for specific fitment tolerances.
Can I Use This on a Standard Form 4?
No. Surgical Guide Resin is a validated dental material restricted to "B" series printers (Form 4B) to ensure the hardware and software meet the necessary regulatory and accuracy standards for clinical use.
