What is the precision of the SAFE System?
Several studies have been done to measure accuracy in implant placement on dry models, on cadavers, on human and on animals since 1997. Measures are done using a superimposition of CT scan of implant planned on CT scan of implants placed. With manual implant placement (Mental) the accuracy is around 3.5 mm and the angle about 10°. Using a Surgical guide to drill, but placing implants by hand give an accuracy of 0.9 mm. Using a SurgiGuide SAFE System, the accuraty goes down to 0.3 mm. A study on rabbits showed an accuracy of the SAFE System of 100 microns. A publication on accuracy done by Dr. Vrielinck and Dr. Tardieu will be available soon.
